Is there a reason the credential cache server cowardly refuses to delete/reuse the socket file?

Whenever my computer crashes, I am left with a socket file. On next git invocation it tries to conenct to the file, but the daemon is not running so it barfs until I delete the file.

jpyeron@black /projects/dcarr/saar $ git push fatal: unable to connect to cache daemon: No error Username for xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ^C

jpyeron@black /projects/dcarr/saar $ ls -al ~/.git-credential-cache/ total 1 drwx------+ 1 jpyeron Domain Users 0 Jun 9 14:09 . drwxr-xr-x+ 1 jpyeron root 0 Jun 8 22:45 .. srwxr-xr-x 1 jpyeron Domain Users 0 Jun 9 14:09 socket

jpyeron@black /projects/dcarr/saar $ rm -f ~/.git-credential-cache/socket

jpyeron@black /projects/dcarr/saar
