Sure, and it's great that I still get most Git even if I don't have
libcurl.

But without support for cloning https remotes there's a significant hole
in Git functionality...

I grok that Git doesn't want to re-invent the wheel and that libcurl is
convenient.  I just wonder if anyone knows of another wheel, that
doesn't come attached to an entire tractor-trailer, that could be used
instead :).
