Hi 

I'm just getting into Julia. It seems that, out of the box, Pkg is 
dependent on being able to call 'git clone git://blah' type addresses. 
For some reason my network doesn't support that. 

INFO: Cloning cache of ArrayViews from 
git://github.com/JuliaLang/ArrayViews.jl.git
fatal: unable to connect to github.com:
github.com[0: 192.30.252.130]: errno=No route to host

While waiting for support I thought I would dig around. It seems I can 
install packages by 'git clone https://blah' through 
Pkg.add("https://blah";). 
Of course if the package has dependencies it throws up errors for the same 
reason.

TL,DR; It would be nice if Pkg did a try except on the url prefix using 
https://.

Cheers

Matthew Pearce
