But why reinitialize libcurl at all in the first place? This "work-around"
should rather be the standard behavior since there should be no logical reason 
to re-initialize libcurl's global state during a git's execution.

Even though Mike correctly identified a libcurl bug, it also indirectly 
identified a git flaw: re-initialization with the curl_global_* functions is 
pointless and only wastes time.
