As a git user, I would probably be very surprised if using 'git'
suddenly caused by browser to pop up a captive portal login. I would
prefer git to instead properly explain to me that is being the victim
of a 511 and what I should do to fix it.

I agree what you envisioned, nothing more, nothing less, is the ideal
solution.

Thanks.
