Does "git credential" need to have a git repository (i.e. run in a
git repository or in a working tree that is controlled by one)?

It shouldn't (hence, should use RUN_SETUP_GENTLY).

Rather, that means it should use 0:

			{ "credential", cmd_credential },

[...]

Actually, "git credential" has very little to do with Git, and could
even be used in a git-unrelated script.

I suspect it would be simplest to make it a non-builtin.  There are
some examples to take inspiration from in the PROGRAM_OBJS variable of
the Makefile.

Hope that helps,
