          credential: erase all matching credentials
      
     -    Users expect that
     -    `echo "url=https://example.com" | git credential reject` or
     -    `echo "url=https://example.com\nusername=tim" | git credential reject`
     -    erase all matching credentials.
     +    `credential reject` sends the erase action to each helper, but the
     +    exact behaviour of erase isn't specified in documentation or tests.
     +    Some helpers (such as credential-libsecret) delete all matching
     +    credentials, others (such as credential-cache and credential-store)
     +    delete at most one matching credential.
      
     -    Fixes for credential-cache and credential-store.
     +    Test that helpers erase all matching credentials. This behaviour is
     +    easiest to reason about. Users expect that `echo
     +    "url=https://example.com" | git credential reject` or `echo
     +    "url=https://example.com\nusername=tim" | git credential reject` erase
     +    all matching credentials.
     +
     +    Fix credential-cache and credential-store.
