Last time I used Git with an HTTP proxy that required authentication I was doing it with an environment variable: http_proxy=http://me:pass@proxyserver.com:8080 git clone ... Fortunately this was on a Windows desktop where I was the only user who was logged into the system, so leaking my password into my environment for a short duration was about the same risk as putting into a ~/. file. -- Shawn.
