Yeah, that, possibly with "These are deprecated; do not use them.",
would be a better way forward.  As we deprecated "rsync" long time
ago, perhaps we should remove it at Git 2.0 or somewhere around
that.

By the way, that old patch by Ram in question was *not* incorrect
per-se back then when dumb http was still more prevalent option
between the two http transports.  Fetching over dumb http and dumb
ftp were both equally bad ;-)  It just has become less relevant as
more people start equating http with the smart http, where there is
no equivalent "smart ftp".
