While looking at test-url-normalize (and wanting to experiment some with
your series to see how it handled a few behaviors), I wondered if we
shouldn't be exposing this selection process to the user somehow via
git-config.
That is, would a shell script ever want to say "what is the value of
this config variable for url $X"? Certainly our test scripts want to,
and having a test-* program covers that, but might user scripts want to
do the same? Or even to introduce its own URL-matched config options?
How hard would it be to convert the "-c" option of test-url-normalize
into something like:
git config --file=foo --url http noepsv $URL
which would look for http.$URL.noepsv matches.
If we want to go that route, we don't have to do it now (the test-*
interface is unpublished, and the git-config interface can simply come
later than the internal feature). But it may be worth thinking about
now while it is in your head.

Do we need to have the complete list of options here, including curl
version limitations? It seems like this will eventually get out of date
with the list of options. Would it be sufficient to test just one (or
even just handle a fake "http.$URL.foo" variable)?

Does this macro do anything besides shorten the name? Is the extra
level of indirection to the reader worth it?
