Apache servers using mod_auth_kerb can be configured to allow the user
to authenticate either using Negotiate (using the Kerberos ticket) or
Basic authentication (using the Kerberos password). Often, one will
want to use Negotiate authentication if it is available, but fall back
to Basic authentication if the ticket is missing or expired.
Teach the HTTP client code to stop trying authentication mechanisms that
don't use a password (currently Negotiate) after the first failure,
since if they failed the first time, they will never succeed.

I was able to reproduce the problem on my server. This fixes the
problem for me both when info/refs requires authentication and when it
does not. Dan, please try and see if this fixes the problem for you.
I'm not clear on whether NTLM is a passwordless authentication method.
Since I don't use Windows or NTLM, I can't test it, but if it is, just
adding it to HTTP_AUTH_PASSWORDLESS should be sufficient.
