Hello,

Since this was posted anonymesously, I do not thing a discussion will result.

But for future reference, here are some relevant items:

1. A similar previous request:
https://savannah.gnu.org/support/?108556

2. A relevant discussion on the GIT mailing list:
Subject: "git:// protocol over SSL/TLS"
http://marc.info/?l=git&m=138814914720394&w=2

3. A comment by Andreas Schwab, saying:
"Given how easy it is to verify the integrity of a git repository out of band there isn't really much of added security by using TLS for transport."

http://marc.info/?l=git&m=138815353821210&w=2


As such, I'm closing this item.

https://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/UsingGit/ recommends the git: protocol, with http and a fallback when that port is blocked.

Neither of the protocols offers for read-only access support encryption or server authentication. This leaves visitors vulnerable to mitm code injection and passive surveillance.

Please ad https support, and recommend it over the git protocol.
