I have the following in my global gitconfig
[credential "https://git.server.com"]
useHttpPath = true
and a credential entry to the Git credential manager with
echo -n "protocol=https\nhost=git.server.com\npath=/repos/myrepo2.git\nusername=bla\npassword=mypass1\n" | git credential approve
echo -n "protocol=https\nhost=git.server.com\npath=/repos/myrepo2.git\nusername=bla\npassword=mypass2\n" | git credential approve
Because I want to use exacly this two credential for the URLs the git credential fill
echo -n "protocol=https\nhost=git.server.com\npath=/repos/myrepo1.git\nusername=bla\n" | git credential fill
echo -n "protocol=https\nhost=git.server.com\npath=/repos/myrepo2.git\nusername=bla\n" | git credential fill
works and returns password=mypass1 and mypass2.
When I however use /repos in the config
[credential "https://git.server.com/repos"]
useHttpPath = true
the useHttpPath is not picked up for
echo -n "protocol=https\nhost=git.server.com\npath=/repos/myrepo1.git\nusername=bla" | git credential fill
and therefore I get mypass2 as result.
Is this a Git bug? Documentation: https://git-scm.com/docs/git-credential#IOFMT
