How do other people's applications that use http_proxy environment
variable handle this situation?

With this patch and the previous 2/3, we are allowing people to set
"http_proxy=http://me@over.there/";, but an environment variable is global
to the user's environment, so if other applications do not grok the "name
only" proxy URL the same way as this patch does, adding this code only to
Git does not make users' lives any better.

Of course the above does not apply to http.proxy configuration, which is
specific to Git.

Just a style, but 

		if (proxy_auth.username && !proxy_auth.password) {

is much more preferred.

I think somebody already pointed out interaction of this with 2/3.
