Thinking about this a little more, git-credential-anything has the
same problem.  I can run it, and it'll dump out my password for
anybody.  I'd rather it didn't do that.  I think it would be more
satisfying to have the mechanisms built into git itself, without a
separate application.  I'm not sure how practical that is though.
