Yes you're right, fixed to reflect that and adjust formatting.

I modified it to use echo as the standard, it turns out apache handles
properly terminating lines for you
with CRLF. As for the lone echo, a double CRLF signals the end of the response
header and the start of the body. Curl doesn't behave properly without it.

I agree it's better. changed.

Done. I went back over the guidelines and tried to follow everything.

See earlier comment, we need a second CRLF to end the HTTP header.
Before I added this, curl was very unhappy.

At this point in the patch set the retry logic isn't implemented yet.
So this triggers the first error status manually
and then clones the repo using the same URL to verify that clone still
works when returning a 302 redirect status.
I've modified it in v3 so that it only has to do the manual call once though.
