Right, that is/was a bug in how libcurl behaves when the application itself has set the "Expect: 100-continue" header. Martin has provided a fix for that for the next libcurl version though, but that won't make a lot of existing users happy.

Thinking about this particular problem, what is the motivation for git to forcily add that header in the first place? I mean, libcurl does add the header by itself when it thinks it is necessary and then it handles it correctly.

I'm just suggesting (and speculating widely since I don't know git internals) that a possible way to work around this particular bug may be to reconsider how git adds the Expect header.

It's just an idea. Please ignore it if it is totally crazy.
