Ok, so I have created the following ~/.curlrc:

$ git clone https://remoteuser@remoteserver.com/.git/
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/user/.git/

Last time I used Git with an HTTP proxy that required authentication
I was doing it with an environment variable:

  http_proxy=http://me:pass@proxyserver.com:8080 git clone ...

Fortunately this was on a Windows desktop where I was the only
user who was logged into the system, so leaking my password into my
environment for a short duration was about the same risk as putting
into a ~/. file.
