git credential.helper=cache never forgets the password?

git credential.helper=cache never forgets the password?

I want my password to be forgotten, so I have to type it again.
I have setup this:
git config credential.helper 'cache --timeout=600'
but much later on, several days, it still remembers the password and does
not ask me it again...
git version 1.7.10.4 (at Ubuntu)
did I run into a bug? (as I see similar questions but none I found that
answers this...)
EDIT: or am I missing something?
EDIT: now I know commit is local, and push is remote. BUT my commits (with
RabbitVCS Git nautilus addon) seem to be performing the push as remote
repo is being updated... When I issue push, it do asks for password... but
with the commit command it does not ask AND perform the remote update; I
checked that 4 hours ago my commit updated the remote server :(
