Don't we explicitly not want to do this when the protocol is http? Curl
doesn't respect HTTP_PROXY.

Yes.  Here is what I'll queue.

I had raised several other points in my (admittedly belated) review[1].
So I was kind of expecting a re-roll rather than a patch on top. It was
mostly readability issues, but there is also a potential segfault when
the url has no protocol. I'm not sure it can happen in normal git use,
but:

  git remote-https url-without-protocol

may dereference null (it's via snprintf, so on my system glibc magically
rewrites this as "(null)_proxy", but other systems will segfault).

Indeed.  Thanks for reminding me not to advance this beyond 'pu'.
