Yet, it can be usefull for those of us behind stupid firewalls that do not
allow non-HTTP traffic, but have a SOCKS proxy.

I've tried using git via a SOCKS proxy and it does not work, while rsync
does. So using rsync as a mean to clone/pull from a git repos really makes
sense.

My 2 cents...

BTW, what's the rsync URL for the git repos?
