Commit 5841520b makes it impossible to connect to github from behind my company's firewall. I'm running CYGWIN_NT-6.1 and the default git version 2.5.3 complains with a fatal error when trying to git pull: $ /bin/git --version git version 2.5.3 $ /bin/git pull fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/gargle/french/': Unknown SSL protocol error in connection to github.com:443 Taking the sources of git 2.6.1. and compiling with commit 5841520b in http.c reverted gives me a working git. My http.c now looks like: 466 if (curl_http_proxy) { 467 curl_easy_setopt(result, CURLOPT_PROXY, curl_http_proxy); 468 #if LIBCURL_VERSION_NUM >= 0x070a07 469 curl_easy_setopt(result, CURLOPT_PROXYAUTH, CURLAUTH_ANY); 470 #endif 471 } And it works: $ git --version git version 2.6.1 $ git pull Already up-to-date.
