Comment 9 for bug 1111882

To clarify things, no the issue is not within GIT itself. The issue comes from libcurl3-openssl. Most of the GIT binaries that are distributed (either from GIT PPA or Ubuntu) is compiled to work with libcurl3-openssl.

Hence, it's necessary to recompile the GIT from source and link it to libcurl4-openssl. The issue can only be solved after Ubuntu or Git PPA is compiled against libcurl4-openssl instead of libcurl3-openssl.
