Hi Sebastian,

I am not quite sure whether that is a good solution. You are changing the
system configuration for the benefit of a local configuration. That would
potentially break every other user outside of that repository that now
works.

My suggestion is to either go with my earlier recommendation and add an
empty `credential.helper` in the repository's config before the actual one
(and leave the system config alone), or alternatively change the system
config instead of the repository config in the first place.

Ciao,
Johannes
