Subject: [PATCH 7/7] credential: use git_prompt instead of git_getpass
Date: Thu, 8 Dec 2011 03:33:51 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20111208083351.GG26409@sigill.intra.peff.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20111208082118.GA1507@sigill.intra.peff.net>

We use git_getpass to retrieve the username and password
from the terminal. However, git_getpass will not echo the
username as the user types. We can fix this by using the
more generic git_prompt, which underlies git_getpass but
lets us specify an "echo" option.
