http authentication via prompts
Curl is designed not to ask for password when only username is given in
the URL, but has a way for application to feed a (username, password) pair
to it. With this patch, you do not have to keep your password in
plaintext in your $HOME/.netrc file when talking with a password protected
URL with http://<username>@<host>/path/to/repository.git/ syntax.
The code handles only the http-walker side, not the push side. At least,
not yet. But interested parties can add support for it.
