It's nothing wrong with your patch, the main problem is that there's
not really a good place to point users at.
If you have better wording, I'm open to it. I do note that we don't
actually have a manpage for "git-remote-https", though we do for others.
Probably "man git-remote-helpers" is the most sensible thing to point
the user to. But I don't even think this is worthy of a big advice
message. It's a bug in the helper, it shouldn't really happen, and
giving the user a token they can use to report or google for the error
is probably good enough.
Yeah, exactly. man git-remote-helpers is more a place for developers
to read how to implement a git-remote-helper, not so much a place for
users to read what they are, and/or how to use them.
