```
According to the git documentation on http proxy:

http.proxy

Override the HTTP proxy, normally configured using the http_proxy,
https_proxy, and all_proxyenvironment variables (see curl(1)). This
can be overridden on a per-remote basis; see remote.<name>.proxy

On windows, proxy settings are traditionally stored in the Registry
and accessed via WinInet settings. Is there any way to make git
respect these settings so that, for example, I could transparently
intercept git traffic with fiddler.?
