IMHO it is safer to disable it for curl < 7.0xa -- even if it affects a number of distros -- than to give the illusion that it works, when it does not. As for fixing it in the non-MULTI case, I have a hunch that Mike's cleanups will help that, but that this is a 1.5.5 feature. So, I would like to read in the ReleaseNotes something like this: -- snip -- Support for pushing via HTTP was broken with curl versions prior to 7.16, so we disabled it for now. However, it is likely that a major cleanup of the http transport code -- scheduled after the release of git 1.5.4 -- will be supported with more curl versions. -- snap -- Ciao, Dscho
