Delete redundant definitions. Mingw-w64 has wincred.h since 2007 [1].

[1] https://github.com/mingw-w64/mingw-w64/blob/9d937a7f4f766f903c9433044f77bfa97a0bc1d8/mingw-w64-headers/include/wincred.h

Sounds good, and the diffstat is nice. But not as nice as it would look if we retired the wincred helper. As I pointed out in
https://lore.kernel.org/git/[email protected]/,
I'd much rather spend my time on other things than reviewing patches to a credential helper I consider unsafe.

Ciao,
Johannes

Thanks Johannes for your reply. What do you mean by "unsafe"? Not useful in the modern world of 2FA? Doch! You can use git-credential-wincred to store OAuth credentials [1].

For storage, both git-credential-wincred and Git Credential Manager use the same wincred.h CredWrite API [2]. This is surely preferable to plaintext git-credential-store [3].
