I am trying to use the http access to the GDB git repo because I want to run
automated tests using the master branch using a Jenkins infrastructure.
That Jenkins machine has to go through a proxy to access the internet and the
proxy does not trigger when using the git protocol. So I was hoping to fall back
on the http protocol.
We've faced similar issues for eclipse projects and having an http access to
the repos has proven useful.
I found the reference to that http access here at the top of the page of the git repo:
https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git
Thanks
