Yes, that works.

I have cross-checked the error and access log and here is what happens – I have marked the requests that are sent with correct credentials with a `@` and those which are sent with mismatched credentials with a `#`:

GET /x.git/info/refs : 401 GET @ /x.git/info/refs : 200 GET # /x.git/HEAD : 400 GET /x.git/objects/7e/c6910c4d1733d575f955063fd52b2b0ae7ca5b : 401 GET @ /x.git/objects/7e/c6910c4d1733d575f955063fd52b2b0ae7ca5b : 404 GET @ /x.git/objects/info/http-alternates : 404 GET @ /x.git/objects/info/alternates : 404 GET /x.git/objects/info/packs : 401 GET @ /x.git/objects/info/packs : 200 GET # /x.git/objects/pack/pack-a9bed5817173acdf0a2dc86ddaf36c4f0c7f9ea3.idx : 400

Repeating the clone always yiels this exact sequence.

If I use `curl` manually to fetch those URIs, they work just fine.
