   3 The git-remote-persistent-https binary speeds up SSL operations
   4 by running a daemon job (git-remote-persistent-https--proxy) that
   5 keeps a connection open to a server.

  19 Move all of the git-remote-persistent-http* binaries to a directory
  20 in PATH.

  23 USAGE
  24
  25 HTTPS requests can be delegated to the proxy by using the
  26 "persistent-https" scheme, e.g.
  27
  28 git clone persistent-https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/git/git
  29
  30 Likewise, .gitconfig can be updated as follows to rewrite https urls
  31 to use persistent-https:
  32
  33 [url "persistent-https"]
  34         insteadof = https
  35 [url "persistent-http"]
  36         insteadof = http

  51 PREREQUISITES
  52
  53 The code is written in Go (http://golang.org/) and the Go compiler is
  54 required. Currently, the compiler must be built and installed from tip
  55 of source, in order to include a fix in the reverse http proxy:
