Is it better to have the fallback in /tmp, and not in ~/.git-credential-cache/, and why?

Is it because the wish is to always use /tmp/git-$uid/ as a fallback for $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR (as opposed to ~/.git-credential-cache/, which is specific to the credential-cache and would look strange if we used it for other "runtime" things)?

Just being curious, and wanting to see the reasoning behind the design decision the patch series makes in the log message of one of these patches.

Thanks.
