Subject: [PATCH] README: create HTTP/HTTPS links from URLs in Markdown

From: Eric Wong <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 1 Mar 2017 22:22:04 +0000

Markdown supports automatic links by surrounding URLs with
angle brackets, as documented in
<https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax#autolink>

While we're at it, update URLs to avoid redirecting clients for
git-scm.com (by using HTTPS) and public-inbox.org (by adding a
trailing slash).

 I was going to cite some style manuals (MLA, APA, etc),
 but it seems current versions do not favor angle brackets.
 However, this remains consistent with the recommendations in
 RFC 2369 <https://ietf.org/rfc/rfc2369.txt> for mail headers.
