maint: prefer https: to git:
The idea is to defend against some adversary-in-the-middle attacks. Also prefer git.savannah.gnu.org over its shorter alias, git.sv.gnu.org to avoid a warning e.g., from git clone. Also, drop any final ".git" suffix on the resulting URIs. Inspired by Paul Eggert's nearly identical changes to coreutils. Induced by running these commands: git grep -l 'git clone git:'|xargs perl -pi -e \ 's{(git clone) git://(\S+)/([^/]+)\b}{$1 https://$2/git/$3}' git grep -l git.sv.gn \ |xargs perl -pi -e 's{git\.sv\.gnu}{git\.savannah\.gnu}' perl -pi -e \ 's{(url =) git://(\S+)/([^/.]+)(\.git)?\b}{$1 https://$2/git/$3}'\ .gitmodules * .gitmodules: As above. * HACKING: Likewise. * README-hacking: Likewise. * src/grep.c (main): Likewise.
