[orion-dev] Storing credentials for git operations 
Hi,

I am a little bit confused about the current state of Orion regarding the storage of credentials for git operations. After reading the bugzilla bug [1] and playing with my workspace on orionhub.org there are open questions in two areas

1) git credentials when I use orionhub.org
1a) In my orion workspace I cloned the repo https://github.com/chalstrick/dondalfi. Then I modify a file, stage and create a git commit. When I finally want to push this commit back to github two entry fields pop up: "SSH User Name" and "SSH Password". I am confused here because I am not using SSH in this case. But when I enter my https credentials (user&password) here then the push succeeds.  Shouldn't these entry fields be renamed?
1b) If I enable the storage of git credentials in my settings and when I click "Don't ask me again" when I enter my credentials then I am really not asked anymore - even if I restart the browser. With firebug I can see that when I press the "Push All" button a request containing my  git credentials is sent to the orion backend. So I guess  Orion will not store any credentials on the server side, right?

2) git credentials when using orion as a backend server just used through the REST APIs
2a) If I use orion as a backend server and If I am contacting orion through the rest api do I have to send credentials with every push rest request? Any chance to store credentials on the server side?

Ciao
  Chris
