The savannah.gnu.org admins are trying out the git "smart http" server,
but it doesn't seem to handle http redirects properly... should it?
Is this a bug with the git server?
The follow is from Sylvain Beucler;

This is the response I get from git.sv.gnu.org manually:

405 (Method not allowed)? Can you see what request it is trying to send
and to where (the request that fails with 405 that is)?

I think this is a bug in the apache setup at savannnah. It is
responding to POST .../git-upload-pack with both 301 and 405. This does
not happen if you use the redirected address directly.

When the remote HTTP server returns a redirect the default libcurl action
is to change a POST request into a GET request while following the
redirect, but the remote http backend does not expect that. Tell libcurl
to always keep the POST request.

Looking closer, this is actually a bug in git. It does not set the
POSTREDIR option, so that libcurl changes the POST into GET when
following a redirection.

Not sure what git's minimum supported libcurl is, but this define was
added in 7.19.1 (November 5 2008).

Added simple tests and made some changes to the patch message.
Andreas:
shifted the setopt to right after FOLLOWLOCATION, since they're linked
closely.
Jay: added the usual hexadecimal version checks.

Should this fall back to CURLOPT_POST301 on older versions? (Those
won't handle 302 though, I think.)

For users of libcurl older than 7.19.1, use CURLOPT_POST301 instead,
which only follows 301s instead of both 301s and 302s.

Andreas: added CURLOPT_POST301 alternative. There doesn't seem to be a pretty
constant, the docs just say a non-zero value [1] or 1 [2].
