This whole series looks good to me. As I commented on in the thread you
referenced in 0/4 I think this is the right trade-off, and people like
me who occasionally compile git on older systems can just easily package
a newer curl as well if we need it.

My reading of the curl history/docs is that you should squash this into
this last patch. It's code that's now dead since we require
7.19.4.

CURLAUTH_DIGEST_IE was added in 7.19.3, and as a comment this squash
removes indicates CURLOPT_USE_SSL hasn't been needed since 7.16.4:
