From: Matthieu Moy Date: Sun, 03 Jun 2012 16:10:03 GMT Subject: [PATCH 2/3] api-credentials.txt: mention credential.helper explicitly Message-ID: <1338739804-32167-3-git-send-email-Matthieu.Moy@imag.fr> In-Reply-To: <1338739804-32167-1-git-send-email-Matthieu.Moy@imag.fr> The name of the configuration variable was mentioned only at the very end of the explanation, in a place specific to a specific rule, hence it was not very clear what the specification was about.
