[PATCH 2/2] http: prevent redirect from dropping credentials during reauth

From
QBQuentin Bouget <ypsah@devyard.org>
Date

Message-ID
<20240204185427.39664-3-ypsah@devyard.org>

During a re-authentication (second attempt at authenticating with a remote, e.g. after a failed GSSAPI attempt), git allows the remote to provide credential overrides in the redirect URL and unconditionnaly drops the current HTTP credentials in favors of those, even when there aren't any.

This commit makes it so HTTP credentials are only overridden when the redirect URL actually contains credentials itself.
