Yes, the admins of git.samba.org prefer that clients use https://
instead of git://
I also checked what linux-net uses and it also uses https most of the time:
$ git lo -187 linux-next/master | grep 'Merge branch .*\/\/'| grep https | wc -l
178
$ git lo -187 linux-next/master | grep 'Merge branch .*\/\/'| grep -v https | cut -d ' ' -f2-
