Sorry for being thick, but I lost track on this thread. Why does it need this info again?

Or perhaps put another way: if there was an ideal way to get this done or provide this to libcurl other than the current way, how would you suggest it would be done from a git internal point of view?

We're currently discussing new ways of providing authentication info in libcurl and I want to make sure I can get useful bits from this exercise into that talk to possibly offer something smoother in the future.
