The git-credential command requires that you feed it a broken-down credential, which means that the client needs to parse a URL itself. Since we have our own URL-parsing routines, we can easily allow the caller to just give us the URL as-is, saving them some code. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@xxxxxxxx> --- The implementation turned out to be delightfully simple. I stopped short of adding an "ident" command to git-credential where you could do something like: $ echo https://user@xxxxxxxxxxx | git credential ident protocol=https host=example.com username=user since I had no use for it, but it would obviously be an easy one-liner to write (it's just "fill" without the actual fill call).
