Right, the HTTP server stuff should go into its own plugin/bundle
and maybe its own feature.  EGit doesn't need to depend upon it,
but someone might want to depend on it and build a WAR which enables
HTTP server side support.

I'm not sure what that gets us.  IndexPack isn't capable of running
in an async way, and that's the core of the server side receive
for incoming pack data.

Jetty is Apache License 2.0/EPL dual licensed.  Not EDL.
