Yes, but what infrastructure would that exploring facility work on? Known gitweb's?

Anyway, by that time my fetch might be there. I was thinking about integrating it with File/Import and add a new Git>Clone source and just have a dialog where one could paste a URL-ish, user/password, or ssh public key. If you want to have go at the dialog, I'd appreciate that.

I need to do at least basic local ref management in the fetching first, and maybe some more test cases. Speed is slightly slower than the C version, but not terribly so.
