Please add configuration to use https rather than git:// native git addressing (to port 9148)

[danryu]

This is a single line change which will allow all those working in typically restrictive corporate networks to access all git repos current inaccessible on port 9148.
This is what I adopted in my forked repo at https://github.com/danryu/ansible-role-git/blob/master/tasks/main.yml#L17

- name: configure git to use https and not native git protocol
  command: git config --global url."https://".insteadOf "git://"

and it works well in testing. Previous multi-hour hangs caused by composer trying to build drush by referencing dozens of github repos via git:// addresses are now avoided successfully.

This seems like a good improvement—but I'll leave it as a configurable option (e.g. using when: git_use_https_instead_of_git_protocol) so users can stick to git:///other protocols by default, and configure https if needed.

This seems fair :-)
