Another GitExtensions file history issue

Hi folks

I raised another GitExtensions issue with file history

https://github.com/gitextensions/gitextensions/issues/2363

I suggested a fix and a workaround.

P.S. Congrats, that’s my blogpost #100

After installing Git Extensions on my new laptop I quickly found myself having to enter my password every time git talked to the remote hosted on BitBucket.

If you have the same problem of Git Bash or Git Extensions asking you for your password every time you can try this, which worked for me:

Open the .gitconfig in your home directory in a text editor like SublimeText or Notepad++

in the [credential] section make sure there aren't extra \ characters escaping the double quotes.

So instead of

[credential] helper = !\\\"C:/Program Files (x86)/GitExtensions/GitCredentialWinStore/git-credential-winstore.exe\\\"

it should read

[credential] helper = !\"C:/Program Files (x86)/GitExtensions/GitCredentialWinStore/git-credential-winstore.exe\"
