Re: dumb transports not being welcomed..

Also, I really do think that the dumb transports are oversold, and 
git-daemon is undersold. I know all about firewalls, but I also think that 
if people used the smart protocols more, that's a problem that would 
largely solve itself. 

This reminds me of one thing I've been wanting to have on the
client side (git-fetch-pack): HTTP CONNECT passthru ala
"tn-gw-nav -H", which is one of the ways many people ssh out
over firewalls if I understand correctly.  CVS pserver protocol
seems to do the same using `proxy' connection option.

Anybody interested?
