Seconded, I run into this all the time. A configurable prompt with %h for the host, etc. would be really nice.

This would also be really nice. ~/.netrc is not a great place to put passwords for the HTTP transport. In GNU Emacs we have ~/.authinfo.gpg with the same content as ~/.netrc but encrypted by GPG and thus more secure (the user is either prompted for the password, if the file is encrypted symmetrically, or the user simply loads their private key into the GPG agent). I believe all this can be done with the GPGME library. There's also the Secrets API on newer Gnome and KDE installs, which has a pretty nice D-Bus interface. But is this a libcurl feature request? Or can a Git plugin (an alternate HTTPS transport maybe?) handle it?
