Usage:
  `basename $0` HOST PORT

Helper script to connect to a Git repository over the git:// protocol at host HOST and port PORT through a SOCKS proxy at $proxy ($from).

To use the proxy for all git:// traffic, set the core.gitproxy option to "git-proxy":

  git config core.gitproxy "git-proxy"


To use the proxy only for some reporitories, use the syntax explained in git-config(1).

To configure which proxy to use, set an appropriate environment variable (see below) or socks.proxy option to the proxy address, for example "localhost:1080":

  git config socks.proxy "localhost:1080"


The address of the proxy is read from (in order of priority):
  - the GIT_SOCKS_PROXY environment variable;
  - the SOCKS_PROXY or SOCKS5_PROXY environment variable;
  - the ALL_PROXY environment variable (see curl(1));
  - the socks.proxy git option;
  - the default value: localhost:1080 .
