... Junio, what's its life
expectancy? I guess this usage scenario is something to take into
account when thinking about removing it, I know that I wanted to get rid
of it in the past but now my opinion is changing.

It uses the same commit walker semantics and mechanism so I do
not think it is too much burden to carry it, but I'd rather have
something that works over git native protocol if we really care
about this.  People without ssh access needs to be able to
recover over git:// protocol.

Even though I obviously agree with the above, it would be useful to have
the flag even though git:// (which is apparently harder to get right
than the others) is not supported. After all, most repositories I've
seen that are available over git:// are available over HTTP as well.
