The commit 5ce4f4e (Documentation/urls: Rewrite to accomodate <transport>::<address>, 2010-04-06) that came from

  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/145196/focus=145205

was supposed to be just a clarification of the document, but it added ftp to the list without justification. Its earlier round is this

    http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/143499

and it did not mention ftp; I wonder why we missed this addition during the review process.

The ftp transport might have worked for fetching in the distant past for "dumb and slow" commit walking fetches, but it was never supposed to work with any kind of pushes as far as I know. I wouldn't be surprised if the dumb and slow commit walking fetch no longer works with ftp.
