Subject: [Wishlist] could git tell which password it is asking when asking a password.
Date: Fri, 01 Jul 2011 15:59:09 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <877h82nlua.dlv@debian.org> (raw)

Hello,

When git is asking for a password (for example for pushing over https)
it call the $GIT_ASKPASS script with only "Password: " as a an argument,
so when one have several remote, it might not know which one is asking
the password. 

It would be interesting also to plug some sort of password-safe unto
git, or some "git-agent".
