 This is basically the version from Tay Ray Chuan [1] with one more
 proofreading round from me. My changes besides realignments are below.
 There are TODOs remain but I think the document is valuable as it is.

Thanks.

 On the topic, C Git's (maybe) violations on this spec are:
 
  - The client does not strip trailing slashes from $GIT_URL before
    sending to the server, as described in section "URL Format".
 
  - The client does not check that HTTP status code is either 200 or
    304 when receiving response in discovering references phase.

  - The client verifies the first 5 bytes against pattern
    "^[0-9a-fA-F]{4}#" instead of "^[0-9a-f]{4}#" as described in
    section "discovering references".

Perhaps add these to "small projects ideas"?  The last one may want
to be phrased a bit better, though.  I needed to read it twice to
realize that you are saying "the client accepts hexadecimal using
uppercase alphabets where it should not".
