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.
