the reason for the pull request is that git:// proved to work much faster and more reliably. msysgit failed for me *consistently* to submodule-update at random submodules over http. in my experience, i've never seen http clock faster than git. i kinda guessed that "corp firewalls" was part of the reason. is git:// deprecated on github, then?
