Bug Description

Documentation encourage to use insecure git:// protocol:
https://github.com/lxml/lxml/blob/b3ffdd9904baab64d2288969752c26d39cd18db3/doc/build.txt#L61
https://github.com/lxml/lxml/blob/772fa933129eed08f88205de7f485eb4e3874315/doc/main.txt#L178-L182

git:// protocol does not provide authentication and encryption.

"It uses the same data-transfer mechanism as the SSH protocol but without the encryption and authentication overhead."
