git has the netrc parser set to "optional", which makes libcurl use the login name given in the URL (if present) and search for the associated password in the .netrc file.

Typical users probably only have one user per host name in the .netrc file and then the name part in the URL provides no particular extra goodness but can just as well be excluded.
