- This command caches credentials in memory for use by future Git
18
- programs. The stored credentials never touch the disk, and are forgotten
19
- after a configurable timeout. The cache is accessible over a Unix
20
- domain socket, restricted to the current user by filesystem permissions.

+ This command caches credentials for use by future Git programs.
18
+ The stored credentials are kept in memory of the cache-daemon
19
+ process (instead of written to a file) and are forgotten after a
20
+ configurable timeout. Credentials are forgotten sooner if the
21
+ cache-daemon dies, for example if the system restarts. The cache
22
+ is accessible over a Unix domain socket, restricted to the current
23
+ user by filesystem permissions.
