http.c: remove verification of remote packs
Make http.c::fetch_pack_index() no longer check for the remote pack with a HEAD request before fetching the corresponding pack index file. Not only does sending a HEAD request before we do a GET incur a performance penalty, it does not offer any significant error- prevention advantages (pack fetching in the *_http_pack_request() methods is capable of handling any errors on its own). This addresses an issue raised elsewhere: http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/issues/detail?id=323 http://support.github.com/discussions/repos/957-cant-clone-over-http-or-git Signed-off-by: Tay Ray Chuan <rctay89@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
