Search for proxy here:

http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-config.html

but I think the more or less standard $http_proxy environment variable
does the trick.
2. How can I have git remember the username and password for our git server?
Either use ~/.netrc (see
http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/howto/setup-git-server-over-http.txt ),
or set the URL of the remote repo to
http(s)://user:password@server.com/path in .git/config (after
restricting read permissions on this file appropriately, of course).

Thanks for the reply. 

For the first problem I now use the environment variable no_proxy. Adding 
http_proxy="" in front of each git command that communicates with the depot 
is a little bit tedious.

For the second problem I now use the .netrc file.
