We've got CA-signed certificate atm and it's about to be also EV-signed for our server (git.blender.org). So this is not gonna to be an issue. Cloning over https:// works fine, but we wanted to be sure all the bits are secure.

So guess we just need to recommend using https:// protocol instead of git:// for our users?
