I thought at least you did not have these overlong lines in your earlier attempts, and Dscho may have acked one of those, but I doubt he would give his Ack to this one. I certainly wouldn't Ack it myself. By the way, aren't you sending format="flowed"? Please don't. It damages whitespaces. Daniel Stenberg did a research on the safety of your "since curl stdrup's it" claim, and found that it unsafe for earlier versions of the library before 7.17.0. It seems that we earlier found out that anything older than 7.16 were not usable for git-http-push (see Release Notes for 1.5.4), but 7.16 is still older than 7.17, so either we declare you _must_ have 7.17 or newer to use http-push, or keep an extra copy around and free it later like the original code does. Even Debian is at 7.18.2 these days, so requiring 7.17 or newer may not be an issue in practice, but there are people who keep running things on older distros with proven stability (and known features limitation). The refactoring looked sane otherwise, but I think we would want to opt for safety by keeping an extra string around.
