With this installed in your $PATH, you can store
git-over-http passwords in your keyring by doing:
git config credential.helper gnome-keyring
The code is based in large part on the work of John Szakmeister
who wrote the helper originally for the initial, unpublished
version of the credential helper protocol.
This version will pass t0303 if you do:

Not all platforms have getrlimit(), but there are other ways to see
the maximum number of files that a process can have open. If
getrlimit() is unavailable, fall back to sysconf(_SC_OPEN_MAX) if
available, and use OPEN_MAX from <limits.h>.

Currently, it will only do a checkout if the sha1 registered in the containing
repository doesn't match the HEAD of the submodule, regardless of whether the
submodule is dirty. As discussed on the mailing list, the '--force' flag is a
strong indicator that the state of the submodule is suspect, and should be reset
to HEAD.

This script is one of the sizeable ones that tempted people to copy
its "neibouring style" in their new code, but was littered with
styles incompatible with our style guide.
- use one tab, not four spaces, per indent level;
- long lines can be wrapped after '|', '&&', or '||' for
readability.
- structures like "if .. then .. else .. fi", "while .. do .. done"
are split into lines in such a way that does not require
unnecessary semicolon.
- case, esac and case-arms align at the same column.

Either end of revision range operator can be omitted to default to HEAD,
as in "origin.." (what did I do since I forked) or "..origin" (what did
they do since I forked). But the current parser interprets ".." as an
empty range "HEAD..HEAD", and worse yet, because ".." does exist on the
filesystem, we get this annoying output:
$ cd Documentation/howto
$ git log .. ;# give me recent commits that touch Documentation/ area.
fatal: ambiguous argument '..': both revision and filename
Use '--' to separate filenames from revisions
Surely we could say "git log ../" or even "git log -- .." to disambiguate,
but we shouldn't have to.

The existing --set-uptream option can cause confusion, as it uses the
usual branch convention of assuming a starting point of HEAD if none
is specified, causing
git branch --set-upstream origin/master
to create a new local branch 'origin/master' that tracks the current
branch. As --set-upstream already exists, we can't simply change its
behaviour. To work around this, introduce --set-upstream-to which
accepts a compulsory argument indicating what the new upstream branch
should be and one optinal argument indicating which branch to change,
defaulting to HEAD.
The new options allows us to type
git branch --set-upstream-to origin/master
to set the current branch's upstream to be origin's master.
