Re: [PATCH] http-push and http-fetch: handle URLs without leading /

Since HTTP/302 is not handled in the git code calling curl, URLs without

Furthermore, http-push freeze forces the user to interrupt it (^C) and
therefore to leave a dandling webdav lock that makes the remote repository
un-pushable for 10 minutes.

The patch does not make curl calls handle HTTP/302 but instead adds a / at
the end of URLs that does not have it yet.

Actually, it would be much better to do just that, i.e. handle HTTP 302
return codes. I suspect there may be other cases leading to similar dead
locks with other HTTP codes. But that might just be easier to deal with
once my refactoring will be done ;)
