Description

Reported previously as #5977, then again as #6168. Where it got a, for me cryptic comment that it should be fixable by the user.

I would like the capability of having the git credential manager to use the Azure identity available in the gcm of my client when using Remote:SSH. This capability already exists for containers and apparently there a way to forward calls has been found and will be actively setup.

The reason for this is that the GCM binary itself only checks whether there is a Desktop session available, and not whether there is a BROWSER env variable available.
