git:// protocol

Hi

I asked some git related questions in the git-newsgroup and used following command in my example:

git-clone rsync://source.mvista.com/git/linux-omap-2.6.git
linux-omap-2.6

In one sidenote, Junia recommended avoiding rsynch protocol and using
git:// protocol instead. (I do not know exact reasons for that) So, would it be possible to open also the git protocol port from the montavistas omap server?

You can use git protocol with kernel.org:

git://www.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tmlind/linux-omap-2.6.git

But I believe it's still experimental. It should be possible to update git on source.mvista.com, and run gitd.

Regards,
