No. It uses plain text HTTP. The code predates Amazon supporting SSL
for S3 and hasn't really been updated since.

No. A partial upload may leave some objects laying around in the
bucket that aren't necessary, but it won't be corrupted.

Nope. The S3 client in JGit does ordered writes in an order that are
safe if interrupted, but might leave some unused objects laying around
if interrupted. These aren't harmful, they just waste space (and thus
cost money...).
