You're welcome. Thank you for forwarding the bug report. I would never
have seen it on the msysgit list, and for some reason it seems that
msysgit people are more likely to use DAV.

Having looked a lot at the http code the past month or two, I knew it
was pretty flaky and I was nervous when we added Stefan's patch (and no,
I don't blame Stefan; his patch was completely reasonable, but just
happened to trigger a problem in a seldom-looked-at corner of the code).

But I hadn't looked at http-push at all until yesterday, and it didn't
even occur to me that there was another whole area of code relying in a
very obscure way on the http.c auth code. I'll take a look at some of
the refactoring I've done in http.c (both for the credentials topic as
well as the bundle topic) and see if we can't integrate http-push.c a
little more smoothly.
