[PATCH] http-push and http-fetch: handle URLs without leading /

From

Since HTTP/302 is not handled in the git code calling curl, URLs without leading / used to lead to frozen git-fetch or git-push with no error message.

Furthermore, http-push freeze forces the user to interrupt it (^C) and therefore to leave a dandling webdav lock that makes the remote repository un-pushable for 10 minutes.

The patch does not make curl calls handle HTTP/302 but instead adds a / at
the end of URLs that does not have it yet.
