Actually, the howto tells to setup a ~/.netrc file, which should make the http://user@server/path/ format work. I don't know if dropping user@ would still work, that depends how libcurl works with it.
git has the netrc parser set to "optional", which makes libcurl use the login name given in the URL (if present) and search for the associated password in the .netrc file.
Typical users probably only have one user per host name in the .netrc file and then the name part in the URL provides no particular extra goodness but can just as well be excluded.
