They use the same credential store, and I actually tried to make sure they can use the same data. But apart from that, they work quite differently. My credential-helper only does storage, and passes the test-suite. The one you linked to seems to ignore any password being sent to it, and instead prompts the user if it doesn't already have a credential. It also does not seem to support storing credentials for multiple users for a domain/path. But probably the biggest problem for Git for Windows is that it's written in C#, and we don't have a C# compiler in our tool-chain. So I don't think there's much I can use from that helper, and I think my helper is in a healthier state. But I'm obviously biased. -- *** Please reply-to-all at all times *** *** (do not pretend to know who is subscribed and who is not) *** *** Please avoid top-posting. *** You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "msysGit" group.
