-----------------------------------+---------------------
Interacting with git remotes over Tor is harder than it needs to be.
The 2 current options I'm aware of are:
- running `torsocks git` everytime, which is not great;
- setting the `http.proxy` config option, but
- this only works for HTTP remotes (not SSH ones, for instance)
- this works on a per-repository basis
- it's impossible to cone a repository (or add a remote, or...) and set
this configuration item in one step
Given that, I quickly whipped up a git-remote-tor helper (in POSIX SH),
which simply runs another git-remote-* helper under torsocks.
Using it, it is possible to do things such as `git clone
tor:http://dccbbv6cooddgcrq.onion/torspec.git`.
It currently lacks documentation and doesn't work (yet) with SSH remotes,
though.
