After debugging git proxy authentication and creating my own fix to
support git+https over an NTLM proxy I found a set of patches inside of
the mailing list archives [1]. What is the state of this patch set? The
essence of the patch would be to allow NTLM authentification by giving
the correct options to libcurl.

~Weekly Junio sends out a "What's cooking in Git" E-Mail. Things that
aren't listed there aren't being actively considered for inclusion.

Which means that if you're interested in it the best thing you can do
is to take that patch, rebase it on top of master, make sure it works,
and re-submit it.

See Documentation/SubmittingPatches and one of those E-Mails Junios
sends out for more info.

In the case of that particular patch, it appears to take more than that,
unless you meant "make it work" by "make sure it works". The discussion
following patch seems to indicate that it was very broken and not working
at all, and then the patch submitter disappeared.
