+--- Fetch back-end for retrieving sources from Git repositories
+-- that use http:// transport. For example, for fetching a repository
+-- that requires the following command line:
+-- `git clone http://example.com/foo.git`
+-- you can use this in the rockspec:
+-- source = { url = "git+http://example.com/foo.git" }
+-- Prefer using the normal git:// fetch mode as it is more widely
+-- available in older versions of LuaRocks.
