My idea for credential-store.c is:\n\n* For \"get\", lookup_credential() on the XDG file first if it exists,\nand if it fails call it on the home file.\n* For \"remove\", remove_credential() from both the xdg file and the home file.\n* For \"store\", if the XDG file exists store_credential() in the XDG\nfile and remove_credential() from the home file, otherwise just\nstore_credential() in the home file.\n* For all operations, if \"--file\" is provided, use it instead.\n\n> I'm the one who proposed this microproject, and some feedback on the\n> mailing-list was that it was not so \"micro\" and probably too big\n> already.\n> Both for the microproject and the GSoC itself, don't be too ambitious on\n> the feature you target, and don't underestimate the effort needed to get\n> from \"the code looks OK to me\" to \"the code has been reviewed on list\n> and merged upstream\".\n\nThanks, I will keep that in mind.\n\nAlso, quick question, where should the XDG tests go for\ngit-credential-store? I see t1306-xdg-files.sh and\nt0302-credentials-store.sh.\n\n> Cheers,\n>\n> --\n> Matthieu Moy\n> http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/\n\nRegards,\nPaul\n"},{"id":"256917","messageId":"vpq8ufe9ce1.fsf@anie.imag.fr","threadId":"38690","inReplyTo":"CACRoPnTAFXBRR3uv8gL8tGfYNo_ygNutJZuPm=Sq0Ae3obF-kw@mail.gmail.com","subject":"Re: [GSoC15] Interested in contributing to git","fromName":"Matthieu Moy","fromEmail":"matthieu.moy@grenoble-inp.fr","sentAt":"2015-03-03T18:14:30Z","receivedAt":"2015-03-03T18:14:30Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"matthieu.moy@grenoble-inp.fr","avatar":"https://gravatar.com/avatar/72c8a2705971a25dfaff23cece15130d405685845d911aedd5667ace277f3fc5?d=mp&s=160"},"body":"Paul Tan writes:\n\n> Also, quick question, where should the XDG tests go for\n> git-credential-store?

See what the other tests took like.\n\n-- \nMatthieu Moy\nhttp://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/\n"}]}
