Thanks, that does help explain things (to me, anyway).

The thing I am not sure of in your explanation is:

>>> since if they failed the first time, they will never succeed

Are there other GSSAPI methods where this is not the case? I don't know
of any, and AFAICT git's support is used only for Kerberos, so this is
probably safe for now. If somebody can produce a concrete case that
behaves differently, we can untangle it then.
