I'm not sure, but netrc is not specific for any particular protocol. It
assumes that your login and password are the same for several services
on the same computer or set of computers.

It's often less hassle (and more efficient wrt. data transfer) to use
SSH. With gitolite you can give people access to git repositories over
SSH without giving them SSH access to the machine proper.
