Fortunately, it looks like Chrome prevents users from clicking past the ssl errors. This Chinese chrome screenshot[1] shows that there's only a back button (for English versions of this page, see [2]). Unfortunately, it appears that IE allows users to click past the errors[3]. I'm also interested in how the 360 browser[4], which has been gaining market share in China, handles the error. Does anyone have any theories why China would use a self signed certificate when it's very indiscreet? A lot of users will just click through if given the opportunity (around 60% in chrome before new security measures prevented it[2]), but I doubt many users with truly sensitive private repos would do this.
