Everything in the manifest is mirrored on git.mozilla.org, which is
accessible over HTTPS.  See also gecko/b2g/config/emulator/sources.xml
which is what Buildbot/TBPL uses, and see bug 899969 for how it uses
that file.

Incidentally, the Mozilla project's own build hosts seem to be behind a
similar firewall -- if you do a try push to test a manifest change, you
can use https:// remotes that aren't git.m.o, but git:// remotes time out
and break.  So this is a use case that we support to some extent.
