We wrote it as git-remote-$THING, invoked with $THING:// URLs. And
git-remote-$THING just implements the "connect" helper protocol. Its
much simpiler than git-remote-http.
Maybe its done that way in git-core as http2:// aka git-remote-http2.
Or the git-remote-http helper connects to the remote system and tries
to guess if it supports Git on HTTP/2 before responding to the
capabilities request from transport code. If yes, it replies with
connect, if no, it does the current fetch and push protocol.
