[Patch reminder] Don't verify host name in SSL certs when GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY is set

[Patch reminder] Don't verify host name in SSL certs when GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY is set

[Mike Hommey]

Hi,

While rebasing old branches on master, I saw that I still had this
patch[1] ahead, to which you replied with [2]. I might be guilty of not
replying back then, but I think your version should be applied.

Cheers,

Mike

 Thanks.

 Just to make sure we are on the same page and to give other people
 comment on and potentially offer better solution, this is the patch in
 question.

 Next time around, please forward/resend "old patches that should not have
 been forgotten" in the way I am doing here.
