Description Carsten Reckord CLA 2010-11-04 17:12:38 EDT 
Reader types like the SVN reader that accept login credentials as part of their provider URI treat the literal String 'null' as an unset credential part (login or password). This is useful to specify a default connection string that in an interactive UI environment will pop up an authentication dialogue, while allowing to override username and password for headless execution. 

The git reader should support this pattern, too.

Patch looks good. I released it to helios-maintenance branch, rev 11620.

Thanks.
