Subject: [RFC v2] git-secure: extend interactive authentication to more Git operations
To: git@vger.kernel.org

Hello Git community,

Following up on my initial RFC [1], I would like to submit a v2 of the git-secure concept — a secure wrapper for sensitive Git operations.

🆕 What’s changed:
- Support for more operations: now also covers pull, fetch, and submodule updates.
- Verifies token validity before proceeding.
- Shows explicit error messages on authentication failure.
- English & French READMEs added, with usage examples.
- Working script and repo here: https://github.com/VictorNafs/git-secure-hub

💬 I would greatly appreciate feedback on:
- Making this concept native (via optional plumbing commands or flags),
- Security model consistency with Git’s philosophy,
- Integration possibilities or risks.

Thanks again for your attention and guidance.

Best regards, Victor Duprez
