Update: This is now fixed in curl 8.11.1

I have been using Vundle to install and update my vim plugins, but recently it couldn't update anything and just gave me the error

fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/gmarik/Vundle.vim.git/': .netrc parser error

and similar for every plugin.

This isn't an error with my .netrc though, it turns out it's a bug in curl v8.11.0.

There hasn't been a new release of curl yet so for now the only fix seems to be to comment out (with #) whatever is in your .netrc before updating the plugins. That is unless your distro has patched curl-8.11.0.
