2012-01-16credential-cache: ignore "connection refused" errorsLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
The credential-cache helper will try to connect to its daemon over a unix socket. Originally, a failure to do so was silently ignored, and we would either give up (if performing a "get" or "erase" operation), or spawn a new daemon (for a "store" operation). But since 8ec6c8d, we try to report more errors. We detect a missing daemon by checking for ENOENT on our connection attempt. If the daemon is missing, we continue as before (giving up or spawning a new daemon). For any other error, we die and report the problem. However, checking for ENOENT is not sufficient for a missing daemon. We might also get ECONNREFUSED if a dead daemon process left a stale socket. This generally shouldn't happen, as the daemon cleans up after itself, but the daemon may not always be given a chance to do so (e.g., power loss, "kill -9"). The resulting state is annoying not just because the helper outputs an extra useless message, but because it actually blocks the helper from spawning a new daemon to replace the stale socket. Fix it by checking for ECONNREFUSED. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2012-01-10credential-cache: report more daemon connection errorsLibravatar Jeff King1-3/+7
Originally, this code remained relatively silent when we failed to connect to the cache. The idea was that it was simply a cache, and we didn't want to bother the user with temporary failures (the worst case is that we would simply ask their password again). However, if you have a configuration failure or other problem, it is helpful for the daemon to report those problems. Git will happily ignore the failed error code, but the extra information to stderr can help the user diagnose the problem.

2012-01-08credentials: unable to connect to cache daemonLibravatar Clemens Buchacher1-4/+3
Error out if we just spawned the daemon and yet we cannot connect. And always release the string buffer. Signed-off-by: Clemens Buchacher <drizzd@aon.at> Acked-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2011-12-11credentials: add "cache" helperLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+120
If you access repositories over smart-http using http authentication, then it can be annoying to have git ask you for your password repeatedly. We cache credentials in memory, of course, but git is composed of many small programs. Having to input your password for each one can be frustrating. This patch introduces a credential helper that will cache passwords in memory for a short period of time. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
