Junio and I discussed it a bit in another thread. I think the ability to
use "user@hostname" to disambiguate means the problem is dealt with at a
high level. And the "cache" helper handles that just fine. But the
"store" helper will conflate two entries for the same host. I'll see if
I can work on a patch for that.

It looks like Junio is planning to hold the series off until 1.7.8. Have
you been working on a Secrets API helper? If so, I'd love to get
feedback on how well the interface is serving your needs.
