How do you feel about my proposal to split this functionality off
into a separate package?  Run-time detection of curl in git upstream
would also be a viable option (though perhaps not at this point in
the release cycle?).

I think the current error message could be a bit friendlier though
arguably anyone using git clone can probably figure out that if you're
missing curl, you need to install it.
