To clarify, he's setting up a build farm *member*. :)

Unfortunately for us, the port that git uses isn't currently allowed
outbound by our corporate firewall. I expect that to be true for other
PG users who want git and for some build-farm members, so I think we
really need to support git cloning over http.

As a side-note, it works just fine from git-hub's http mirror and that's
what we've been playing with, but I don't know if we want to recommend
that for build-farm members..
