Subject: Note that checking out from git via http:// is at least 4x slower than git://
X-Git-Url: http://git.shadowcat.co.uk/gitweb/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=cf5e7595dae7f3a666898a705146ae29bed6e82f;p=p5sagit%2Fp5-mst-13.2.git

Note that checking out from git via  is at least 4x slower than git://

Tested on a 10 MiB/s connection in London, although this is also
IO/CPU bound since Git needs to resolve deltas and check out after the
repository has made it across the wire.
