Jeff King 148bb6a7b4 http: use credential API to get passwords
This patch converts the http code to use the new credential
API, both for http authentication as well as for getting
certificate passwords.

Most of the code change is simply variable naming (the
passwords are now contained inside the credential struct)
or deletion of obsolete code (the credential code handles
URL parsing and prompting for us).

The behavior should be the same, with one exception: the
credential code will prompt with a description based on the
credential components. Therefore, the old prompt of:

  Username for 'example.com':
  Password for 'example.com':

now looks like:

  Username for 'https://example.com/repo.git':
  Password for 'https://user@example.com/repo.git':

Note that we include more information in each line,
specifically:

  1. We now include the protocol. While more noisy, this is
     an important part of knowing what you are accessing
     (especially if you care about http vs https).

  2. We include the username in the password prompt. This is
     not a big deal when you have just been prompted for it,
     but the username may also come from the remote's URL
     (and after future patches, from configuration or
     credential helpers).  In that case, it's a nice
     reminder of the user for which you're giving the
     password.

  3. We include the path component of the URL. In many
     cases, the user won't care about this and it's simply
     noise (i.e., they'll use the same credential for a
     whole site). However, that is part of a larger
     question, which is whether path components should be
     part of credential context, both for prompting and for
     lookup by storage helpers. That issue will be addressed
     as a whole in a future patch.

Similarly, for unlocking certificates, we used to say:

  Certificate Password for 'example.com':

and we now say:

  Password for 'cert:///path/to/certificate':

Showing the path to the client certificate makes more sense,
as that is what you are unlocking, not "example.com".

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

	GIT - the stupid content tracker

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

"git" can mean anything, depending on your mood.

 - random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
   actually used by any common UNIX command.  The fact that it is a
   mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
 - stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
   dictionary of slang.
 - "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
   works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
 - "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
and full access to internals.

Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License.
It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of
hackers around the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano.

Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.

See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-commandname.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with "man gittutorial" or "git help tutorial", and the
documentation of each command with "man git-commandname" or "git help
commandname".

CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
("man gitcvs-migration" or "git help cvs-migration" if git is
installed).

Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git-scm.com/
including full documentation and Git related tools.

The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git
mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature
requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org. To subscribe
to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to
majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git and other archival sites.

The messages titled "A note from the maintainer", "What's in
git.git (stable)" and "What's cooking in git.git (topics)" and
the discussion following them on the mailing list give a good
reference for project status, development direction and
remaining tasks.
