Hi,
Some repositories has the git (or svn) and http support. I saw that we choose 
the git/svn one (it's faster i know, but it does not works under proxy).

I propose a E{GIT,SVN}_REPO_HTTP_URI (or similar) variable that uses the http 
variant when the global use is set (or we can use the http_proxy env 
variable).

What do you think?
