If that is the case the code probably needs to be a bit more careful before deciding to use /tmp/git-$uid/ directory (is it really $uid's? can anybody else write to it to race with the real user? etc.) > On the other hand, I think, falling back to $HOME/.git-credential-cache/socket > doesn't make any sense for back-compability cannot be ensured. What do you mean by that? Using ~/.git-credential-cache/credential-cache.sock would not help at all for existing users, but ~/.git-credential-cache/socket would interoperate well with users with existing versions of Git, no? >> Just being curious, and wanting to see the reasoning behind the >> design decision the patch series makes in the log message of one of >> these patches. -- 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
