What did you do before the bug happened? (Steps to reproduce your issue) I created the following files: ``` ~/workspace/.gitconfig-workspace [credential] helper = store --file ~/workspace/.git-credentials-workspace ``` ``` ~/.gitconfig [credential] helper = store [includeIf "gitdir:~/workspace/"] path = ~/workspace/.gitconfig-workspace ``` I then tried to use my credentials in a repository under `~/workspace`. What did you expect to happen? (Expected behavior) I expected that within `~/workspace`, the credential file would be `~/workspace/.git-credentials-workspace`. I expected that outside `~/workspace`, the credential file would be `~/.git-credentials`. The two `.git-credentials*` files have different credentials to the same URL. What happened instead? (Actual behavior) The credentials within file `~/workspace/.git-credentials-workspace` are not being properly applied for repositories within `~/workspace`. What's different between what you expected and what actually happened? I expected that `~/.git-credentials` and `~/workspace/.git-credentials-workspace` would be isolated from each other. But there are interactions even though `includeIf` was used. Anything else you want to add: The following configuration works: ``` ~/.gitconfig [credential] helper = store [includeIf "gitdir:~/workspace/"] path = ~/workspace/.gitconfig-workspace [includeIf "gitdir:~/another-workspace/"] path = ~/another-workspace/.gitconfig-another-workspace ``` ``` ~/another-workspace/.gitconfig-another-workspace [credential] helper = store --file ~/another-workspace/.git-credentials-another-workspace ``` This is not ideal as repositories must be contained within these enumerated paths. This configuration has unexpected behavior: ``` ~/.gitconfig [includeIf "gitdir:~/workspace/"] path = ~/workspace/.gitconfig-workspace [credential] helper = store ``` The credential in `~/workspace/.git-credentials-workspace` will be accessed and then stored into `~/.git-credentials`. Git is interacting with both files. Please review the rest of the bug report below. You can delete any lines you don't wish to share.
