documentation: add git:// transport security notice

The fact that the git:// transport does no authentication is easily
overlooked.  For example, DNS poisoning may result in fetching from
somewhere that was not intended.

Add a brief security notice to the "GIT URLS" section
of the documentation stating that the git transport should be used
with caution on unsecured networks.

file:///path/to/repo.git/ is converted to a hyperlink while others are
not. Put a backslash to avoid the conversion. Tested with asciidoc
8.6.5.

clone: allow cloning local paths with colons in them

2013-05-07T15:32:14+00:00

Usually "foo:bar" is interpreted as an ssh url. This patch allows to
clone from such paths by putting at least one slash before the colon
(i.e. /path/to/foo:bar or just ./foo:bar).

file://foo:bar should also work, but local optimizations are off in
that case, which may be unwanted. While at there, warn the users about
--local being ignored in this case.

Merge branch 'jk/remote-helpers-doc'

2013-02-07T22:41:45+00:00

"git help remote-helpers" did not work; 'remote-helpers' is not
a subcommand name but a concept, so its documentation should have
been in gitremote-helpers, not git-remote-helpers.

* jk/remote-helpers-doc:
  Rename {git- => git}remote-helpers.txt

Rename {git- => git}remote-helpers.txt

2013-02-01T22:12:34+00:00

When looking up a topic via "git help ", git-help prepends "git-"
to topics that are the names of commands (either builtin or found on the
path) and "git" (no hyphen) to any other topic name.

"git-remote-helpers" is not the name of a command, so "git help
remote-helpers" looks for "gitremote-helpers" and does not find it.

Fix this by renaming "git-remote-helpers.txt" to
"gitremote-helpers.txt".

Git url doc: mark ftp/ftps as read-only and deprecate them

2012-10-08T21:18:19+00:00

It is not even worth mentioning their removal; just discourage
people from using them.
