+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
Git supports two HTTP based transfer protocols. A "dumb" protocol
which requires only a standard HTTP server on the server end of the

+Part of the linkgit:git[1] suite
file:// transports. There exist two sets of protocols, one for pushing
data from a client to a server and another for fetching data from a
server to a client. The three transports (ssh, git, file) use the same
-protocol to transfer data. http is documented in http-protocol.txt.
+protocol to transfer data. http is documented in linkgit:gitprotocol-http[5].
The processes invoked in the canonical Git implementation are 'upload-pack'
on the server side and 'fetch-pack' on the client side for fetching data;
In general a client can request to speak protocol v2 by sending
`version=2` through the respective side-channel for the transport being
used which inevitably sets `GIT_PROTOCOL`. More information can be
-found in linkgit:gitprotocol-pack[5] and `http-protocol.txt`, as well as the
+found in linkgit:gitprotocol-pack[5] and linkgit:gitprotocol-http[5], as well as the
`GIT_PROTOCOL` definition in `git.txt`. In all cases the
response from the server is the capability advertisement.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When using the http:// or https:// transport a client makes a "smart"
-info/refs request as described in `http-protocol.txt` and requests that
+info/refs request as described in linkgit:gitprotocol-http[5] and requests that
v2 be used by supplying "version=2" in the `Git-Protocol` header.
