Git doesn't honor NO_PROXY environment variable while cloning

[Ondrej Pohorelsky <opohorel@redhat.com>]

Hi,

we've got a bug[0] reported in Red Hat Bugzilla. It seems like Git
doesn't honor NO_PROXY environment variable while cloning repositories

Reporter has provided these steps to reproduce using Git version 2.18.4:

1. Start a ubi8 container with podman:
```
$ podman run --rm -it registry.access.redhat.com/ubi8/ubi /bin/bash
```
2. Install git in the container - `# yum install -y git`
3. Add "bad" _PROXY environment variables:
```
# export HTTP_PROXY=http://user:pass@bad.proxy
# export HTTPS_PROXY=https://user:pass@bad.proxy
```
4. Add Github as an ignorable proxy domain:
```
# export NO_PROXY=github.com
```
5. Clone a github repo:
```
# mkdir -p /tmp/clone-test
# cd /tmp/clone-test
# git clone https://github.com/sclorg/nodejs-ex.git
# echo $?
```

Actual results:
```
# git clone https://github.com/sclorg/nodejs-ex.git
Cloning into 'nodejs-ex'...
# echo $?
128
```

Expected results:

Git clone succeeds, bypassing the proxy.



However I've found out that this possible issue is present even in
newer versions e.g. 2.28.0.

There is a workaround. You can rewrite proxy to be blank in .gitconfig
for specific websites.
```
[http "https://github.com/"]
        proxy = ""
```

Is this an issue or expected behaviour? And if it is expected
behaviour, then why?

Best regards,
