credential.helper is a multi-valued config key that forms a list, and
Git will try each one in sequence. So in your ~/workspace repositories,
you've configured _two_ helpers: a vanilla "store" and one with the
--file option.

You can reset the list with an empty string. So putting:

  [credential]
  helper =
  helper = store --file ~/workspace/.git-credentials-workspace

in your .gitconfig-workspace would do what you want.
