@IngCr3at1on We've done extensive testing on this using our build cluster. http is much more reliable. ssh protocol was extremely flaky and would cause sync hangs and failures across all the build machines.

http is also the preferred protocol of github. (I can't recall where I saw that post at the moment though)

What secondary remote fix are you talking about? I don't see that in the aosp ics manifest.
