That looks like a directory name in your error message. How did you set
up credential.helper? I'd expect normal usage to be something like this:
# do this once, or cp the binary into your $PATH
PATH=$PATH:/home/dennis/code/git/contrib/credential/libsecret
git config --global credential.helper libsecret
But if you don't want to put it in your PATH, then I think:
git config --global credential.helper \
'!/home/dennis/code/git/contrib/credential/git-credential-libsecret'
would work.
