The "fallback" being discussed is to see if $XDG can be used (and use it if so), otherwise see if ~/.git-credential-cache/socket can be used (and use it if so), otherwise die with a message (see credential-cache.c). The order of the falling back may want to be the other way around, but in either case, the definition of "can be used" includes "is there already a directory in which we can create a socket?". The existing versions have used ~/.git-credential-cache/socket as the default socket path, so it is reasonable to expect that users that are already using the feature already have the directory there. So I do not think there is any "flooded" involved; if the directory is already there, we can use it to create and use a single socket. It's not like we'd be creating many random new directories in ~/. -- 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
