Please don't cull the CC list or top-post. Other people might be interested, and quoting inline will make it easier to understand what you're replying to in that case. I've restored the CC-list and fixed the quoting for you this time.

Quote from Documentation/technical/api-credentials.txt: "Credential helpers are programs executed by git to fetch or save credentials from and to long-term storage (where "long-term" is simply longer than a single git process; e.g., credentials may be stored in-memory for a few minutes, or indefinitely on disk)." In other words, credential helpers are not intended for prompting the user for a username/password pair. Prompting was included in the first credential-helper proposal, but it didn't survive into the inclusion. But you can override credential queries by setting GIT_ASKPASS or SSH_ASKPASS. I don't know if the credential-system works or not when using HTTP/HTTPS, it might be that cURL is the one that does the credential-negotiating in that case. But that's not really related to credential-helpers; it affects the whole credential-system. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
