Re: [PATCH 1/3] Add contrib/credentials/netrc with GPG support

Sorry, I didn't realize contrib/ stuff was under the same rules.

I had a feeling that this may start out from contrib/ but will soon
prove to be fairly important to be part of the Git proper.

It would help if the requirements were codified as the fairly standard
Emacs file-local variables, so I can just put them in the Perl code or
in .dir-locals.el in the source tree.  At least for Perl I'd like that,
and it could be nice for the Emacs users who write C too.

Would you like me to propose that as a patch?

I thought that we tend to avoid Emacs/Vim formatting cruft left in
the file.  Do we have any in existing file outside contrib/?

Either way, I guessed that these settings are what you want as far as
tabs and indentation (I use cperl-mode but perl-mode is the same):

# -*- mode: cperl; tab-width: 8; cperl-indent-level: 4; indent-tabs-mode: t; -*-

Indent is done with a Tab and indent level is 8 places (check add--interactive.perl
and imitate it, perhaps?).

Thanks.
