Junio C Hamano	20b4964fdf	credential-store: document the file format a bit more Reading a malformed credential URL line and silently ignoring it does not mean that we support empty lines and/or "# commented" lines forever. We should document it to avoid confusion. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>	5 years ago
Robert P. J. Day	de613050ef	Use proper syntax for replaceables in command docs The standard for command documentation synopses appears to be: [...] means optional <...> means replaceable [<...>] means both optional and replaceable So fix a number of doc pages that use incorrect variations of the above.

Matthieu Moy	bcf9626a71	doc: typeset long command-line options as literal Similarly to the previous commit, use backquotes instead of forward-quotes, for long options. This was obtained with: perl -pi -e "s/'(--[a-z][a-z=<>-])'/\`\$1\`/g" .txt and manual tweak to remove false positive in ascii-art (o'--o'--o' to describe rewritten history).

Paul Tan	44b228985e	git-credential-store: support XDG_CONFIG_HOME Add $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/credentials to the default credential search path of git-credential-store. This allows git-credential-store to support user-specific configuration files in accordance with the XDG base directory specification[1]. [1] http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-0.7.html ~/.git-credentials has a higher precedence than $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/credentials when looking up credentials. This means that if any duplicate matching credentials are found in the xdg file (due to ~/.git-credentials being updated by old versions of git or outdated tools), they will not be used at all. This is to give the user some leeway in switching to old versions of git while keeping the xdg directory. This is consistent with the behavior of git-config. However, the higher precedence of ~/.git-credentials means that as long as ~/.git-credentials exist, all credentials will be written to the ~/.git-credentials file even if the user has an xdg file as having a ~/.git-credentials file indicates that the user wants to preserve backwards-compatibility. This is also consistent with the behavior of git-config. To make this precedence explicit in docs/git-credential-store, add a new section FILES that lists out the credential file paths in their order of precedence, and explain how the ordering affects the lookup, storage and erase operations. Also, update the documentation for --file to briefly explain the operations on multiple files if the --file option is not provided. Since the xdg file will not be used unless it actually exists, to prevent the situation where some credentials are present in the xdg file while some are present in the home file, users are recommended to not create the xdg file if they require compatibility with old versions of git or outdated tools. Note, though, that "erase" can be used to explicitly erase matching credentials from all files.

Jeff King	e50cd67ba4	docs/credential-store: s/--store/--file/ The option name "--store" was used early in development, but never even made it into an applied patch, let alone a released version of git. I forgot to update the matching documentation at the time, though.

Jeff King	c6632eba5a	command-list: mention git-credential-* helpers These commands were never added to the command-list. Adding them makes "make check-docs" run without complaint. While we're at it, let's capitalize the first letter of their one-line summaries to match the rest of the git manpages. The credential-cache--daemon command is somewhat special. It is already ignored by check-docs because it contains a "--", marking it as a non-interesting implementation detail. It is, in fact, documented, but since the documentation basically just redirects you to a more appropriate command anyway, let's explicitly omit it so it is not mentioned in git(1).

Jeff King	71e1b4b6bf	credentials: add "store" helper This is like "cache", except that we actually put the credentials on disk. This can be terribly insecure, of course, but we do what we can to protect them by filesystem permissions, and we warn the user in the documentation. This is not unlike using .netrc to store entries, but it's a little more user-friendly. Instead of putting credentials in place ahead of time, we transparently store them after prompting the user for them once.
