I'm trying to build Git (2.6.4) on GNU/Linux, but without any
requirements (other than basic libc etc.) on the local system.  This
works fine except for one thing: git-remote-https.

In order to build this I need to have libcurl, but libcurl is a MONSTER
library with an enormous number of prerequisites (see below).

I think Git would have to be changed to use raw sockets and implement
everything it needs on top of that, like libgit2 already does. Certainly this
won't be a trivial task.
