I thought I switch to checking out all modules with a '.git' suffix, so
that even the following configuration works:
  [url "http"]
      insteadOf = "git"

Unfortunately there is some inconsistency at fd.o repositories.  Most
end with a '.git' suffix, but not all (so far I've found fontconfig).
With some insight into the servers, could you tell me if that is the
only one?

Are people repos generally not accessible with http?
