Pkg.submit() unable to get git credentials

[ViralBShah]

In trying to fix some deprecation warnings, I figured I will try Pkg.submit as it takes care of a lot of stuff. It kept asking me for my github password, and finally gave up.

julia> Pkg.submit("RDatasets")

Might be #12607 ? That was merged to master a little late to get it into 0.4.0 final I think. Could you try with that patch locally on a source build of release-0.4, or see if master works any better? Though there are lots of libgit2-specific issues open at the moment.

Yes, #12607 should have addressed this issue. If this happens again, reopen the issue in PkgDev because submit was moved there.
