Please note that this has been addressed for NTLM in
https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/3345 and the gssapi problem is probably
worked around by https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/3349.

Both patches were backported to the cURL version included in Git for
Windows v2.20.0.

Small correction: it is in Git *for Windows* v2.20.0, so in a manner of
speaking it *is* in a released version of Git.

The reason: even if we included the NTLM/Kerberos patches in Git for
Windows, there might be other scenarios where neither of those patches
catch.

Ciao,
Johannes
