Except for "This is a newer patch" and the split in 3 rather than 2,
there is no information whatsoever on what's different and which
questions have been addressed. Given that, it would be only fair to
raise the same objections again.

Condensing the old thread to a bare minimum, these questions seem to be
open (though answered, one might say):

- What ssh+git: problems does gits: address?
- What tells us these are solved by gits:?
- What tells us there are no gits: problems which ssh+git: would solve?

Frankly, so far I see no tests, no benchmarks, one author convinced by
his own code, and seemingly nobody willing to really look a the patches.
