[gentoo-dev] [PATCH 2/2] git-r3.eclass: Explicitly warn about unsecure protocols

["Michał Górny" <mgorny@gentoo.org>]

Explicitly warn about any URI that uses an unsecure protocol (git, http)
even if it's a fallback URI. This is necessary because an attacker may
block HTTPS connections, effectively forcing the fallback to
the unsecure protocol.
