patch to devel/git Makefile

Turning off CURL OPTIONS knob has somewhat unexpected consequences, ie. disables HTTPS transport, thus no Github access. 

This is not evident from the default option description. The tiny patch adds non standard knob description specifically mentioning HTTPS unavailability, when it gets turned off.
