Re: [PATCH] Fix documentation for core.gitproxy to reflect code

This is with respect to my earlier email about core.gitproxy. I
figured since 1.5.3 is looming it would be best to get the
documentation correct, then nag about the feature later!

Dave.

That's not a commit log message.

If the existing example does not work, then please say that you
fixed it (i.e. "The values in the example does not work.  The
accepted forms are such and such and such, so use them in the
example") in the log message.  "Your earlier email" does not
count.  People who are reading the "git log" output would not
have easy access to it.

If core.gitproxy is not documented (I suspect the parts you
touched are not about "how to use core.gitproxy" but "what's the
syntax of a configuration file" example), it needs its own
proper entry in config.txt.  If it has one, but if you feel it
needs more explanation or exmples, that section needs to be
updated.

Please retry.

The current implementation of core.gitproxy only operates on git:// URLs, so
the ssh:// examples and custom protocol examples have been removed or edited.
