> I wonder if the endless loop was due to the password being wrong vs not being set I wonder if this issue exists in 2.1.0 with an incorrect password set and authTimeout occurring Confirmed that was the case. It seems to me that any time after the first failure, whether we're using a client config file or not, it should revert to an interactive password prompt. If the credentials are bad in the client config file, it's never going to work and you should be prompted, and if it's bad when interactively prompted the first time, then the retry is also going to be an interactive prompt. So, in both cases after the first attempt, it should retry using an interactive prompt. The message could still be cleaned up in the re-authentication case when using the client config file, though. It seems weird to ask the user to re-authenticate, only to automatically have it happen for them... at the very least, a subsequent message could be shown that says it was done using the client config file, so the user doesn't just see a request to re-authenticate, followed by no prompt to actually do so. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
