msysGit fails doing a push to a git-repo on a webdav server with basic
authentication.

it results in:

Pushing to https://xxxxxx:xxx...@git.xxxxx.xx/aaa-git
error: Cannot access URL https://xxxxxx:xxx...@git.xxxxx.xx/aaa-git/,
return code 52
fatal: git-http-push failed

Last version checked: Git-1.7.8-preview20111206.exe, all version fail
since git-1.7.4-preview20110204.exe (1.7.4.3282.g844cb.)

With version 1.7.4.3282.g844cb it works with exact the same settings
(if i revert to that version http-push works again)

From the webdav log i can see some differences between these
versions :

1.7.8 log of a run of http-push:

etc.etc.etc.

So some how later versions seem to stop after a 401 return code,
instead of trying again with Authentication (of just keep using it for
the whole session)

One workaround: use .netrc or _netrc
(I'd recommend using the gpg versions)
This fixes msysgit push capability in every case I've come across so far.
