README: adjust the currently-broken GVFS Protocol link (#661)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The current link points to a page that has gone away. While there is
https://web.archive.org/web/20210302002834/https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/learn/git/gvfs-architecture#gvfs-protocol
that _could_ be used to reinstate the link, it is not actually the best
document to which to point the keen reader. We already point interested
parties to the VFSforGit repository's documentation elsewhere, so let's
also do that in the README.

This fixes #628.

which reduces the amount of data transferred in order to work with a Git repository. While several
services such as GitHub support partial clone, Azure Repos instead has an older version of this
functionality called

[the GVFS protocol](https://github.com/microsoft/VFSForGit/blob/HEAD/Protocol.md).
The integration with the GVFS protocol present in `microsoft/git` is not appropriate to include in
the core Git client because partial clone is the official version of that functionality.
