Re: [RFC PATCH v2 09/16] Move WebDAV HTTP push under remote-curl

The remote helper interface now supports the push capability,
which can be used to ask the implementation to push one or more
specs to the remote repository.  For remote-curl we implement this
by calling the existing WebDAV based git-http-push executable.

Internally the helper interface uses the push_refs transport hook
so that the complexity of the refspec parsing and matching can be
reused between remote implementations.  When possible however the
helper protocol uses source ref name rather than the source SHA-1,
thereby allowing the helper to access this name if it is useful.

It's been a while I haven't followed changes in the remote code but this
looks nice, though I haven't checked thoroughly. I guess the next step
would be to kill http-push as an external program.
