overridePersistedExtraheader/restorePersistedExtraheader read from all git config scopes (--get-all) but write only to local scope. When the checkout token lives in global scope, the override adds a second local entry rather than replacing the global one — git sees two Authorization headers → HTTP 400. On each retry, restore writes another local copy while the global entry persists, so the visible count grows (read 1, read 2, read 3...) and every attempt fails.

Changes

git_auth_helpers.cjs

  • Add clearExtraheaderFromAllWritableScopes(key, cwd) — runs git config --local --unset-all and git config --global --unset-all, silently ignoring errors (key absent, scope unwritable)
  • Call it before every write in both overridePersistedExtraheader and restorePersistedExtraheader
  • Switch writes from --replace-all to --add (correct after an explicit clear; the previous key is gone)
// Before: only local scope was cleared, global copy survived → duplicate header
await exec.exec("git", ["config", "--replace-all", key, newValue]);

// After: both scopes cleared first, then a clean --add
await clearExtraheaderFromAllWritableScopes(key, cwd);  // --local + --global unset-all
await exec.exec("git", ["config", "--add", key, newValue]);

git_auth_helpers.test.cjs

  • Update call-sequence expectations (--replace-all--add)
  • Add two regression tests: one for cross-scope duplicate prevention in override, one for accumulation prevention in restore

extra_empty_commit.test.cjs

  • Update assertions that matched on --replace-all for the override/restore sequence
