Hi,

I noticed that JGit now imports some packages from org.apache.http. This change affects the (transient) dependencies of each consumer of JGit

Is there a reason why apache.http.* is required for all consumers of o.e.jgit (instead of only those that whish to use the alternative apache HttpConnection)?

we missed this aspect of introducing an alternative http implementation.

Will move it to another optional bundle.
