+### Access (Anonymous vs. Authenticated URLs)
+The exact git clone URL served to the client go command will depend on the
+project's configured ACLs. If the project is configured to allow anonymous
+read access to `refs/heads/*`, an anonymous URL will be served (e.g.
+`https://gerrit.example/bob/my-project`). Otherwise, a URL that requires
+authentication will be used (e.g. `https://gerrit.example/a/bob/my-project`).
