[http] Git error messages reveal password encoded in the URL

Hi,

We use http to serve our git repos, in order for git to not ask me a username/password everytime, I've put the following in my .git/config:

[remote "origin"]
   url = https://user:pass@host/repo.git

What is discerning is that every time git encounters a problem connecting to the repo, I get the following error containing both my username and password.

error: Couldn't resolve host 'host' while accessing https://user:pass@host/repo.git/info/refs

I would like to suggest that the password be removed/masked from this error message.
