I added a small fixup (https://github.com/dscho/git/commit/44ae0bcae5): -- snip -- Subject: [PATCH] fixup! http: add an "auto" mode for http.emptyauth Note: we keep a "black list" of authentication methods for which we do not want to enable http.emptyAuth automatically. A white list would be nicer, but less robust, as we want to support linking to several cURL versions and the list of authentication methods (as well as their names) changed over time.

Thank you all! Now, how to get this into upstream Git, too? Jeff, do you want to submit a v2? In that case, would you please consider the fixup! I mentioned above? Otherwise I'd be happy to take it from here. Ciao, Dscho
