I've never heard of a bug like this, and the credential-store code hasn't really changed in the 5+ years since it was introduced. The only time it should remove an entry is when Git asks it to. And the only time that happens is when Git sees the credential rejected by the server (e.g., an HTTP 401 even after we fed the stored credential). I don't know why that would happen unless there's some non-determinism on the server. Running with GIT_TRACE=/path/to/logfile in the environment would let you know when Git invokes the helper with the "erase" argument. But the credential data itself is sent over stdin, so it won't be logged. And if this is something that happens occasionally and randomly, you might have to log for quite a while. Likewise, running with GIT_CURL_VERBOSE=1 might show what's going on, but you'd have to actually catch the offending git command (in more recent versions of curl there is GIT_TRACE_CURL, which you can point at a specific logfile rather than just stderr). Do note if you try logging with GIT_CURL_VERBOSE that it includes your password in the output, so treat it appropriately. -Peff
