Is that true? As a user of the credential system, git-remote-mediawiki would want to "write" to git-credential, then "read" the response. As a helper, git-credential-netrc would want to "read" the query then "write" the response. The order is different, but the operations should be the same in both cases. The big difference is that mediawiki would want an additional function to open a pipe to "git credential" and operate on that, whereas the helper will be reading/writing stdio. -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
