This approach seems reasonable to me. I personally, for example, did not 
even know that the git-credential-netrc helper exists, but it obviously 
works for me. Thus it would probably make sense to somehow document 
this, at least once the undocumented feature of directly using 
credentials specified in netrc is not working anymore.
