I personally feel that selectable password storage format is going
overboard. Pick a reasonable one and use it everywhere.
Using some form of crypt is a good idea but then we would need a
separate mode of operation to gitcvs to generate user password.
$ gitcvs adduser junio
Password: ******
Retype password: ******
Added user 'junio' to .git/config
$ exit
I personally do not care about deluser or change-password subcommands,
as you can always go directly to .git/config to remove the user and
recreate anew, but adding them might be nice finishing touches.
$ gitcvs password junio
New password: ******
Retype password: ******
Changed password for user 'junio' in .git/config
$ gitcvs deluser junio
Are you sure you want to remove user 'junio' [y/N]? Y
Removed user 'junio' from .git/config
$ exit
