Completely agree with this. I've long wished for a page on git-scm.com 
that's dedicated to (1) explaining what a credential helper is and
(2) offering a list of suggested helpers along with scenarios for which
each is best-suited. This could also be a good place to call out the risks
of using helpers like git-credential-store in a factual, unbiased way.

Thanks,
