This looks curious; isn't checking .username and .password part of the
responsibility of credential_match()? And even if entry lacks password
(which won't happen in the context of this program, given the
implementation of store_credential() below) shouldn't it still be
considered a match?

Multiple matches not allowed, which sounds fine.

Curious placement of umask(). I would expect a function that has its own
call to umask() restore it before it returns, and a stand-alone program
whose sole purpose is to work with a private file, setting a tight umask
upfront at the beginning of main() may be easier to understand.

An entry for a newly updated password comes at the end of the file,
instead of replacing an entry already in the file in-place? Given that
parse_credential_file() when processing a look-up request (which is the
majority of the case) stops upon finding a match, it might make more sense
to have the new one (which may be expected to be used often) at the
beginning instead, no?

The choice of the fields looks rather arbitrary. I cannot say "remove all
the credentials whose username is 'gitster' at 'github.com' no matter what
protocol is used", but I can say "remove all credentials under any name
for any host as long as the transfer goes over 'https' and accesses a
repository at 'if/xyzzy' path", it seems.

This filtering matches what lookup_credential() does but shouldn't it be
implemented at a single place in any case?
