I'd suggest dropping ", and will soon be removed." or replacing it
with ". Don't use them." to avoid the question of how soon "soon" is.

With that change and with a clearer commit message, this will probably
be good to go imho.

Yup; thanks.

Let's do this, then.

Subject: Git url doc: mark ftp/ftps as read-only and deprecate them

It is not even worth mentioning their removal; just discourage
people from using them.

I think it would be nicer to start with the important info (git
supports ssh, git, http, https) and deal with less important parts
like rsync support later in the document, but this looks like a good
minimal fix.  Thanks for pushing it to completion.

For what it's worth,
