   1git-remote-persistent-https
   2
   3The git-remote-persistent-https binary speeds up SSL operations
   4by running a daemon job (git-remote-persistent-https--proxy) that
   5keeps a connection open to a server.

  19Move all of the git-remote-persistent-http* binaries to a directory
  20in PATH.

  23USAGE
  24
  25HTTPS requests can be delegated to the proxy by using the
  26"persistent-https" scheme, e.g.
  27
  28git clone persistent-https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/git/git
  29
  30Likewise, .gitconfig can be updated as follows to rewrite https urls
  31to use persistent-https:
  32
  33[url "persistent-https"]
  34        insteadof = https
  35[url "persistent-http"]
  36        insteadof = http
  37
  38You may also want to allow the use of the persistent-https helper for
  39submodule URLs (since any https URLs pointing to submodules will be
  40rewritten, and Git's out-of-the-box defaults forbid submodules from
  41using unknown remote helpers):
  42
  43[protocol "persistent-https"]
  44        allow = always
  45[protocol "persistent-http"]
  46        allow = always

  56the Git source repository. The Git source repository is available at

  61PREREQUISITES

  63The code is written in Go (http://golang.org/) and the Go compiler is
  64required. Currently, the compiler must be built and installed from tip
  65of source, in order to include a fix in the reverse http proxy:
