Not having the password on disk[?!]

I think you can't avoid so (we are talking about http).

There is no such thing as ssh-agent for http, and typing the password
for each pull or push is boring. (OK, this is subjective, but I think
nobody types his/her pass on every push/pull.)

You could have the password in the URL, but the it's in .git/config,
even worse.
