Subject: [PATCHv2 7/9] credential: use git_prompt instead of git_getpass
Date: Sat, 10 Dec 2011 05:41:23 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20111210104123.GG16648@sigill.intra.peff.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20111210103943.GA16478@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.
