Hello,
I have set up a repository as described in
http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/howto/setup-git-server-over-http.txt
over SSL with basic authentication. DAV access works fine with konqueror,
cadaver and and curl, using this .curlrc:
$ cat ~/.curlrc
--cacert /etc/cacerts/myca.pem
--user user
$ curl https://repo.host.org/git/test/HEAD
Enter host password for user 'user':
ref: refs/heads/master
$
But when called from git, this file seems to be ignored. I have checked
google, but the only hint I could find was to put credentials into
~/.netrc. IMHO, this is a bad workaround, since this implies to have
unencrypted passwords lying around on the disk.
Any hints?
PS: I have asked a similar question a couple of days ago. Here is a link
to my original mail with more information how I set up the server:

Is nobody interested in this topic? Or am I in the wrong list?

--cacert <CA certificate>
(SSL) Tells curl to use the specified certificate file to verify
the peer. The file may contain multiple CA certificates. The
certificate(s) must be in PEM format.
curl recognizes the environment variable named ’CURL_CA_BUNDLE’
if that is set, and uses the given path as a path to a CA cert
bundle. This option overrides that variable.
The windows version of curl will automatically look for a CA
certs file named ´curl-ca-bundle.crt´, either in the same direc‐
tory as curl.exe, or in the Current Working Directory, or in any
folder along your PATH.
If curl is built against the NSS SSL library then this option
tells curl the nickname of the CA certificate to use within the
NSS database defined by the environment variable SSL_DIR (or by
default /etc/pki/nssdb). If the NSS PEM PKCS#11 module (lib‐
nsspem.so) is available then PEM files may be loaded.
If this option is used several times, the last one will be used.
Does this (setting $CURL_CA_BUNDLE) help?

Well, as I wrote in my original mail, I already got the certificate
working. My problem is the usage of the .netrc file. I don't want
to store passwords in cleartext in files.
So the real question is: how do I make git-http to ask for credentials.
Sorry, I should have made more clearly what's the problem.
