I'd love to have a real full-duplex git-over-https. I looked into
WebSockets at one point, but it looked non-trivial and I gave up.

But if we had a real full-duplex connection over https, I think there
would be no reason for git:// to continue existing (we'd probably keep
ssh as it's a useful protocol for authentication, though).
