Route non-native URL schemes through git remote helpers

addab0b→main·

Soph·4w ago·1 file·+12 added/-0 removed

newConn now checks for a git-remote- binary when the endpoint scheme isn't one git-sync handles natively, and builds a HelperConn when one exists. http/https are excluded so they always use the optimized native HTTP transport git ships its own git-remote-http(s); ssh is already handled above. This is what makes entire:// URLs work, given git-remote-entire on PATH.
