      Can we teach the git:// fetch program to use CONNECT over HTTP
proxies?  rsync can do this, but git:// cannot, so firewalls that block

I think it is good and well with the proxy command support. Everybody can
write a little script.

Otherwise, where would it end? If you include http_proxy functionality in
git, why not also https_proxy functionality? And if that, why not

And, BTW, why not? It may as well stop here.
