BTW, one other solution, rather than reverting Stefan's patch, is to just re-add the "unconditionally ask for a password" behavior back to git-http-push, but not to the fetching side. Especially if we hope to kill off git-http-push soon (after a deprecation period presumably), then that lets it work in the meantime without hurting the other http code. And it's really easy to do.
