[PATCH 0/3] Correct credential helper discrepancies handling input

From: Matthew John Cheetham via GitGitGadget <hidden>
Date: 2022-09-22 16:59:45

Whilst working in the credential helper and auth space I happened to notice
that the behaviour of some of the credential helpers in contrib/credential/
is not consistent.

Specifically both the git-credential-wincred and git-credential-netrc
helpers die when they receive unknown credential property keys, which is
contrary to the behaviour of all the other in-tree helpers including:
git-credential-cache, -store, -libsecret, -gnome-keyring, -osxkeychain.

Also update the git-credential-osxkeychain helper to include a comment
making it's behaviour explicit in ignoring unknown keys, as per other
helpers.

Matthew John Cheetham (3):
  wincred: ignore unknown lines (do not die)
  netrc: ignore unknown lines (do not die)
  osxkeychain: clarify that we ignore unknown lines
