How does it overwrite the GIT_CURL_VERBOSE variable?
After a quick `grep -r GIT_CURL_VERBOSE`, I notice 2 things:

* apparently GIT_CURL_VERBOSE is used as a boolean,
  so I presume we assume True for GIT_CURL_VERBOSE, but
  extend it?
* GIT_CURL_VERBOSE is not documented at all. (It is mentioned in
  the release notes for 2.3.0, not sure if that counts as documentation)
  As you know the area, care to send a documentation patch for
  GIT_CURL_VERBOSE?

I am trying to understand how much more information I get by using
GIT_TRACE_CURL instead of GIT_CURL_VERBOSE.

GIT_TRACE_CURL follows the standard of GIT_TRACE_$subsystem, so I
guess that will be the encouraged way of debugging and GIT_CURL_VERBOSE
will not be encouraged to the user?
