It would have, if git and svn supported SRV lookups, but you're right,
it does not have it set up today. :-)

Sounds sensible to me.

Agreed, and http/https can give out redirects, so I'm less fussed about
those.
Julien Cristau wrote a proof of concept patch for git, see
http://people.debian.org/~jcristau/git-srv-hack.diff for the patch; it
doesn't look too bad.
