Relative socket paths are dangerous since the user cannot generally
control when the daemon starts (initially, after a timeout, kill or
crash). Since the daemon creates but does not delete the socket
directory, this could lead to spurious directory creation relative
to the users cwd.

These commands were never added to the command-list. Adding
them makes "make check-docs" run without complaint.
While we're at it, let's capitalize the first letter of
their one-line summaries to match the rest of the git
manpages.
The credential-cache--daemon command is somewhat special. It
is already ignored by check-docs because it contains a "--",
marking it as a non-interesting implementation detail. It
is, in fact, documented, but since the documentation
basically just redirects you to a more appropriate command
anyway, let's explicitly omit it so it is not mentioned in
git(1).

If you access repositories over smart-http using http
authentication, then it can be annoying to have git ask you
for your password repeatedly. We cache credentials in
memory, of course, but git is composed of many small
programs. Having to input your password for each one can be
frustrating.
This patch introduces a credential helper that will cache
passwords in memory for a short period of time.
