This reverts commit 1b0d9545bb.
That commit does fix the situation it intended to (avoiding Negotiate
even when the credentials were provided in the URL), but it creates a
more serious regression: we now never hit the conditional for "we had a
username and password, tried them, but the server still gave us a 401".
That has two bad effects:
1. we never call credential_reject(), and thus a bogus credential
stored by a helper will live on forever
2. we never return HTTP_NOAUTH, so the error message the user gets is
"The requested URL returned error: 401", instead of "Authentication
failed".
Doing this correctly seems non-trivial, as we don't know whether the
Negotiate auth was a problem. Since this is a regression in the upcoming
v2.23.0 release (for which we're in -rc0), let's revert for now and work
on a fix separately.
(Note that this isn't a pure revert; the previous commit added a test
showing the regression, so we can now flip it to expect_success).

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public
License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses,
compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus
Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/
including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-<commandname>.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the
documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
(man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is
installed).
Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to
the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.
The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that
list the current status of various development topics to the mailing
list. The discussion following them give a good reference for
project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name "git" was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very
first version. He described the tool as "the stupid content tracker"
and the name as (depending on your mood):
random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a
mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
dictionary of slang.
"global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
"goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
