If a URL rewrite switches the protocol to something nonstandard (like "persistent-https" for "https"), the user may be bitten by the fact that the default protocol restrictions are different between the two. Let's drop a note in insteadOf that points the user in the right direction. It would be nice if we could make this work out of the box, but we can't without knowing the security implications of the user's rewrite. Only the documentation for a particular remote helper can advise one way or the other. Since we do include the persistent-https helper in contrib/ (and since it was the helper in the real-world case that inspired that patch), let's also drop a note there.

git-remote-persistent-https The git-remote-persistent-https binary speeds up SSL operations by running a daemon job (git-remote-persistent-https--proxy) that keeps a connection open to a server. PRE-BUILT BINARIES Darwin amd64: https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/git-remote-persistent-https/darwin_amd64.tar.gz Linux amd64: https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/git-remote-persistent-https/linux_amd64.tar.gz INSTALLING Move all of the git-remote-persistent-http* binaries to a directory in PATH. USAGE HTTPS requests can be delegated to the proxy by using the "persistent-https" scheme, e.g. git clone persistent-https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/git/git Likewise, .gitconfig can be updated as follows to rewrite https urls to use persistent-https: [url "persistent-https"] insteadof = https [url "persistent-http"] insteadof = http You may also want to allow the use of the persistent-https helper for submodule URLs (since any https URLs pointing to submodules will be rewritten, and Git's out-of-the-box defaults forbid submodules from using unknown remote helpers): [protocol "persistent-https"] allow = always [protocol "persistent-http"] allow = always ##################################################################### # BUILDING FROM SOURCE ##################################################################### LOCATION The source is available in the contrib/persistent-https directory of the Git source repository. The Git source repository is available at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git/ https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/git/git PREREQUISITES The code is written in Go (http://golang.org/) and the Go compiler is required. Currently, the compiler must be built and installed from tip of source, in order to include a fix in the reverse http proxy: http://code.google.com/p/go/source/detail?r=a615b796570a2cd8591884767a7d67ede74f6648 BUILDING Run "make" to build the binaries. See the section on INSTALLING above.
