As far as the other changes go regarding the # symbol - i'm still
waiting for someone else to volunteer :). As a general rule, i don't
like to change features which have survived the test of time (even if
they're not 100%

Understood, but the point was to not create a message file.
My example does not create a message file but instead tells fossil to
read the commit message from stdin (using a here document):
$ f ci -M - file EOF
This is a

Fossil internal error: repository does not exist or is in an
unreadable directory:
Can you cause this to happen again with a different fossil file? If so,
will you share the exact commands you typed to cause this?
Thanks,

Error: login failed, missing or incorrect password for user xxx
Did Fossil ask you for the password after this error? If not, it
should have.
Fossil 1.27 will not do this, but Fossil from trunk will prompt for it.

Thanks to all for your response, I have tried the trunk and it does
work, here is test result/comparison:
I just now committed a fix to pending-review that should also correct
the missing prompt to save the password which

Great thanks, I was just wondering about that. I tried the fix and
works well for me, it now prompts for remembering password when
cloning with username+password.
As it turns out, after I committed the fix, I

[Be aware that I have only been looking at the Fossil code for a short
time, so what I say may be inaccurate]
1) If a password is necessary and there is a saved password, use
the saved password.
2) Otherwise, prompt

Also, I would suggest that before prompting, Fossil determine if STDIN
and (STDERR or STDOUT) are associate with a console. If not, then
Fossil is not running interactively.
The normal password prompting already checked for the

It's ok for me, but I still think that specifying password in URL in
interactive shell a bad idea. E.g. It got saved in shell command
history.
I too stay away from passwords in command line shell commands and prefer

Agreed. A single retry is enough for me too.
As it turns out, I can get it to prompt more than once easily enough,
but 2 is the limit here because we drop out of the http exchange loop if
we've seen 2 login failure messages. It
