Hi list,

Right now it's possible to git clone a repository over http, and git clone a bundle from the local filesystem, but it's not possible to git clone a bundle hosted on http.

Would it be possible to allow this in the future? Hopefully it's only a minor refactor in `builtin/clone.c`.

Regards
mappu

(Back story: I'm stuck with a git frontend that only ever calls `git clone ${target}` - that's Golang's `go get` - but bundles are a bit better fit for my request patterns than raw repositories).
