Description Matthias Sohn

It seems that http://git.eclipse.org/r isn't served by Gerrit (but https://git.eclipse.org/r is) which is confusing users with strange error messages when they are trying to clone a git repository over http://git.eclipse.org/r [1].

In order to avoid this confusion we should try to redirect to https, I think native git supports redirects though I am not sure if jgit will follow redirects. So let me know when redirect has been configured then I will give it a try.

We already are re-writing HTTP requests for http://git.eclipse.org/r to HTTPS.  

This seems to work as I expect via FF and wget both locally and remote.

However this page: http://lists-archives.com/git/666394-git-aware-http-transport.html indicates that JGit expects a 302/303 response.  I've updated the apache configs to return that instead of a 301.

Let me know if this needs more work.

Looks good from here.
