@saurik - you may want to adjust gnulib in this case https://github.com/OrchidProtocol/orchid/blob/master/.gitmodules#L112-L114
Very good catch! I have left myself a note to do that at some point when Savannah is online.
The git protocol is unencrypted and really should not be used. I realize that some people disagree with this opinion, but most people also don't know much about the git "smart" HTTP protocol. Sites like GitHub have long started defaulting to encrypted HTTPS endpoints for anonymous users, and we should prefer those endpoints if at all possible. (And, if nothing else, GNU Savannah does not even document support for the git protocol.) AFAIK, this is coming up because GNU Savannah is offline right now... but that's certainly a temporary issue that will be fixed in the morning, and should not lead to workarounds being applied permanently to codebases. (Regardless, I would recommend anyone running into this issue in the meantime to not modify the .gitmodules file, and instead configure a local mirror override for these folders.)
