I do think having the docs say "you should go use X" means that X will
have an advantage over other projects which may compete with it. So I
think we need to be careful to be inclusive of what we'll mention, and
to word it so that we're not endorsing any one project.

Completely agree with this. I've long wished for a page on git-scm.com
that's dedicated to (1) explaining what a credential helper is and
(2) offering a list of suggested helpers along with scenarios for which
each is best-suited. This could also be a good place to call out the risks
of using helpers like git-credential-store in a factual, unbiased way.

It's also a nice place because it's easier to keep up-to-date compared
to say, a manpage.
