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 },

... and it turns out I'm talking nonsense.  RUN_SETUP_GENTLY would
be a sensible choice indeed, to allow the command to discover the
current repository and read .git/config from there indeed.

Yeah, I think "it is OK to be called outside a repository, but if
inside we read and honor the configuration" is a sensible behaviour
for this command.
