DANGER: **Danger:**
There is a [known issue](https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/1261) with `libcurl`
older than version 7.64.1 wherein it won't reuse connections when negotiating.
This leads to authorization issues when push is larger than `http.postBuffer`
config. Ensure that Git is using at least `libcurl` 7.64.1 to avoid this. To
know the `libcurl` version installed, run `curl-config --version`.
