I am kind of surprised that anybody is still using the > latter, regardless of where the credential is locally stored. It refers to netrc in HTTP code paths. There are definitely people using the WebDAV-based HTTP protocol still, but after reading the comment in the code that implies that we don't read packed-refs, I'm less and less inclined to say that's a good idea. It's probably going to die pretty quickly when we move to reftable, though, since that protocol only works with the files backend. -- brian m. carlson (they/them or he/him) Toronto, Ontario, CA
