Subject: [PATCH v2] credential/libsecret: erase matching creds only

From: "M Hickford via GitGitGadget" <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 26 Jul 2023 16:06:25 +0000

From: M Hickford <[email-masked]>

The credential erase request typically includes protocol, host, username
and password.

credential-libsecret erases a stored credential if it matches protocol,
host and username, regardless of password.

This is confusing in the case the stored password differs from that
in the request. This case can occur when multiple credential helpers are
configured.

Only erase credential if stored password matches request (or request
omits password).

This fixes test "helper ... does not erase a password distinct from
input" introduced in aeb21ce22e (credential: avoid erasing distinct
password, 2023-06-13)
