Sometimes using ssh is not possible and saving https password in plain
text to disk may be desireable
(in case of encrypted disk it would be equivalent security with caching
password in memory).
One possibility for this in git is to save remote in the
https://username:password@xxxxxxxxxx/repo.git format.
However, in this case every time you push or pull, the remote address,
including the plain text password.
That would introduce additional security issiues and is unreasonable?
Wouldn't it make sense to scrabble the password part in remote's url
before printing it to output?
