Okay, I've had a look at Paul's patch for this. Sorry again for the dupe, I must've missed it before. I guess I'll attempt another microproject. However, I feel like my patch is really all that's neccessary; I don't think we should try to use both files if they exist -- I consider Paul's approach to be a bit overcomplicated. My patch still uses ~/.git-credentials as a default location, which should be sufficient for compability. A user that wants to use ~/.config/git/credentials instead has to manually create that file first, which he just shouldn't do if he has to stay compatible to previous git versions. Of course, my patch is definitly lacking a test case, and the documentation could be a tad better, too. Regards, Luis Ressel
