+- add http(s) transport with libtls, speaking the two Git HTTP protocols
+  (both "dumb" and "smart" need to work) via got-fetch-pack, or a new helper
+  like got-fetch-http; it is fine if HTTP remains a fetch-only protocol, and
+  works only against servers which don't require authentication for fetches;
+  anything beyond this would require a full-featured HTTP client (Git uses
+  libcurl, which we cannot use as it is not in the OpenBSD base system)
