Yes, for the purpose of compatibility, it's the only choice, as I can see. To sum up, I'd like to implement: 1. <path> is configured by --socket, then put it here. 2. else if `~/.git-credential-cache` exists, put the socket under here. 3. else, put the socket under `$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/git/credential-cache.sock`, if $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR does not exist, default to `/tmp/git-$UID/credential-cache.sock`. As a result, new user will use xdg-compatible path while old user will not be surprised. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
