1. How can I set the proxy that should be used for git commands? For
externals pages I have a proxy. But for our git server no proxy should be
used. How can I configure git to never use the proxy?

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.
