In practice, that has not been a problem for us. Yeah, I think that is a good thing. The credentials used for example.com:31337 are not necessarily the same as for the main site. It's less convenient, but a more secure default. What I was more wondering (and I know very little about .netrc, so this might not be a possibility at all) is a line like: host example.com port 5001 protocol https username foo password bar To match git's representation on a token-by-token basis, you would have to either split out git's "host:port" pair, or combine the .netrc's representation to "example.com:5001". -Peff -- 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
