            Bug ID: 308716
          Severity: normal
           Version: unspecified
          Priority: NOR
          Assignee: kde-windows at kde.org
           Summary: Allow to select the protocol used by 'git clone' in
                    kdesettings.bat
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: MS Windows
          Reporter: cristeab at gmail.com
          Hardware: MS Windows
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: buildsystem
           Product: kde-windows

git clone uses the default internal protocol. However, public hotspots often
block all ports except http port, thus 'git clone' as used by emerge does not
work. One needs to separately clone with git using http protocol in the default
location (%kderoor%/git), then to restart emerge and everything runs smoothly.
Instead of this additional step, it might be useful to explicitly select the
protocol used by 'git clone' in kdesettings.bat file. Same for svn. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Ensure that you are on public network allowing only connections to http port
2.emerge qt
Actual Results:  
On public network allowing only connections to http port cloning qt repository
fails

Expected Results:  
One should be able to select in kdesettings.bat file the protocol used by gi
clone. Thus selecting http protocol step 2 should succeed.

Cloning repositories using svn or git should be configurable in order to use a
specific protocol: http or git/svn (if multiple protocols are available).
Similarly, when downloading files, http or ftp protocols should be possible to
use if both are available.
