Re: [PATCH] git: submodule honor -c credential.* from command line

Add a git submodule--helper function which can be used to sanitize the
GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS value to only allow certain settings. For now,
restrict this to only credential.* settings.

I guess for now that subset is fine and will be expanded over time?

I think it is more like "we pass only what is known to be necessary
and safe, and right now, credential.* are the only such variables."

As the system evolves more, theoretically we might find more, but
let's not phrase it as if expanding is a good thing and a longer
term goal.

I can reword the commit message to that effect.

I think what you wrote was perfectly fine.
