Tags: patch

The attached changes the URLs of several GNU ELPA upstreams to use
https:// instead of unencrypted git://.  This is a good idea for all the
usual reasons (security, privacy, etc.).  I have verified the new URLs
manually using "git clone <URL>".

I'm not sure if this would need any manual changes to take effect on the
elpa.gnu.org machine.
