-
- - `file`: any local file-based path (including `file://` URLs,
- or local paths)
-
- - `git`: the anonymous git protocol over a direct TCP
- connection (or proxy, if configured)
-
- - `ssh`: git over ssh (including `host:path` syntax,
- `ssh://`, etc).
-
- - `http`: git over http, both "smart http" and "dumb http".
- Note that this does _not_ include `https`; if you want both,
- you should specify both as `http:https`.
