specifically
 'git-remote-ftps'. They implement the capabilities 'fetch', 'option',
 and 'push'.

+INVOCATION
+----------
+
+These programs can always be invoked as 'git remote-<transport>' by
+the end user. However, the following are five situations in which
+these programs are automatically invoked by git in decreasing order of
+priority.
+
+1. URL using <transport>::<string> syntax is used directly on command
+   line.
++
+The helper is invoked with <transport>::<string> as the first argument
+and <string> as the second argument.
++
+<name> can only contain alphanumeric characters 0-9, A-Z and a-z.
+
+2. remote.<name>.url is unset, but remote.<name>.vcs is set to
+   <transport>.
++
+The helper is invoked with a single argument, <name>.
+
+3. remote.<name>.url is set to a value using the <transport>::<string>
+   syntax.
++
+The helper is invoked with <name> as the first argument and <string>
+as the second argument.
++
+<name> can only contain alphanumeric characters 0-9, A-Z and a-z.
+
+4. remote.<name>.url is set to a value using the
+   <transport>://<rest-of-URL> syntax.
++
+The helper is invoked with <name> as the first argument and
+<helper>://<rest-of-URL> as the second argument.
++
+<transport> cannot be equal to any of builtin protocols 'rsync',
+'file', 'git', 'ssh', 'git+ssh' and 'ssh+git'
+
+5. URL using <transport>://<rest-of-URL> syntax is used directly on
+   command line.
++
+The helper is invoked with two arguments, both equal to
+<transport>://<rest-of-URL>.
++
+<transport> cannot be equal to any of builtin protocols 'rsync',
+'file', 'git', 'ssh', 'git+ssh' and 'ssh+git'
