While I agree that using ssh for push is better, note that the expected
use case for commit over the new http protocol is to do it over tls.

A number of sites use a single ssh login for all projects, limiting
commit access by the ssh key.  For them, supporting commit over ssh
is an easier change.

Pull-only support, though, will be a very helpul enhancement to SV.
