By the looks of your description, I'd say you're facing the UI of the GNOME keyring daemon. This daemon caches the passphrases you enter. So basically you want to nuke one particular passphrase from the keyring. I don't know how to do that -- please google yourself. The closest thing I was able to find is the "Method 2" in [2]. 1. http://packages.ubuntu.com/saucy/gnome-keyring 2. http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2010/01/16/reset-gnome-keyring-password-on-ubuntu/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
