fails to cache credentials, no socket created

[itcarroll]

Description

I can't get the extension to temporarily cache credentials with the git credential helper.

Reproduce

1. Go to the jupyter lab file browser
2. Click on the git-clone button
3. Enter HTTPS URL for repo
4. Enter username, PAT, check (or don't, doesn't matter) the temporary store credentials box
5. Successful clone, yay!
6. Delete folder just created
7. Click on the git-clone button
8. Enter the same HTTPS URL for repo
9. Enter username, PAT, ... hey wait, this isn't supposed to happen again!

Expected behavior

I expect git to create /tmp/.git-credential-cache/socket and reuse it. What actually happens is that the folder /tmp/.git-credential-cache/ gets created, but no socket. In the terminal, if I execute git clone ... and provide credentials, the socket is created and the jupyterlab-git extension no longer prompts for credentials on subsequent pull.

Context

• Python package version: jupyterlab-git==0.50.1
• Extension version: @jupyterlab/git v0.50.1 enabled OK (python, jupyterlab-git)
• Git version: git version 2.34.1
• Operating System and its version: Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS

But I think that's normal? It's the "Cloning into 'test-jlab-git'...\nfatal: could not read Username for 'https://git.smce.nasa.gov': terminal prompts disabled" error.
