It's something I raised a while ago with the eclipse.egit discussion; I'm happy
to step forward and see  what I can do to improve the HTTP access, since I 
think that's critical for adoption in organizations  who, through no fault of 
the end user, are either not directly connected to the internet or have to go 
via HTTP proxies due to firewall limitations.
