I'm not sure if you mean "right" as in "this statement is true" or as in "is this a good thing that it is the case". For the former, yes, libgit2 does not use curl. On Windows, it can use the native http calls (which do nice things like using the system proxy and auth systems). On Unix, I think it is a combination of hand-rolled code, openssl, and an imported http parser (from nginx). Whether that is a good idea or not, I can't comment too much. From what I have seen discussed in libgit2 issues, the stock http transport is meant to be bare-bones (but with minimal dependencies). But it could co-exist with a curl transport (just as it does with the WinHTTP transport). Maybe Carlos (cc'd) can say more. -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
