credentials: add "cache" helper If you access repositories over smart-http using http authentication, then it can be annoying to have git ask you for your password repeatedly. We cache credentials in memory, of course, but git is composed of many small programs. Having to input your password for each one can be frustrating. This patch introduces a credential helper that will cache passwords in memory for a short period of time. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

git-credential-cache--daemon(1)
===============================
NAME
----
command-list: mention git-credential-* helpers These commands were never added to the command-list. Adding them makes "make check-docs" run without complaint. While we're at it, let's capitalize the first letter of their one-line summaries to match the rest of the git manpages. The credential-cache--daemon command is somewhat special. It is already ignored by check-docs because it contains a "--", marking it as a non-interesting implementation detail. It is, in fact, documented, but since the documentation basically just redirects you to a more appropriate command anyway, let's explicitly omit it so it is not mentioned in git(1).

SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
git credential-cache--daemon <socket>
DESCRIPTION
-----------
NOTE: You probably don't want to invoke this command yourself; it is
started automatically when you use linkgit:git-credential-cache[1].
This command listens on the Unix domain socket specified by `<socket>`
for `git-credential-cache` clients. Clients may store and retrieve
credentials. Each credential is held for a timeout specified by the
client; once no credentials are held, the daemon exits.
