Subject: [WIP Patch 04/12] Use the new http API in http_fetch_ref()
Date:	Sun, 18 Jan 2009 09:04:29 +0100

The error message ("Unable to start request") has been removed, since
the http API already prints it.

What is the subject of this patch:
  "http.c::http_fetch_ref(): use the new http API"
or
  "Use the new http API in http_fetch_ref()"

Perhaps this and previous patch should be squashed?

See my reply for patch #12.

> Perhaps this and previous patch should be squashed?

Why should this and patch #16 (for get_refs_via_curl()) be squashed?
Are you perhaps suggesting that all the use-the-new-http-API patches
should be squashed?

I'm sorry this was before I noticed that there are a few more patches
which are about using newly introduced API. Please disregard this part
of message.
