I hadn't seen this either until I deleted the fallback code from
remote-curl.c and ran git ls-remote in a while true loop for 6 hours.
Its obviously happening though.

No. The password comes off a credential helper that has access to it
from a credential store. There is very little lag here, under 100 ms.

This is OpenSSL, because I also always build against OpenSSL.  :-)

I'll try the CURLOPT_SSL_SESSIONID_CACHE today. It is hard to
reproduce, so not producing it doesn't necessarily mean it isn't still
there.
