If the user passwords are cleartext, then you can just copy the "user" table
from one repository to another.  But if users change their passwords using
the UI, then the passwords are stored as an SHA1 hash.  And the SHA1 hash is
seeded by the repository ID, which means that copying the "user" table from
one repository to another won't work.

This is by design:  It allows a user to specify the same password on
multiple repositories, without that being obvious to someone who can only
see the hashes.

If your web server can be configured to do its own login credential checking
and then set the REMOTE_USER environment variable to the name of the logged
in user, then that will server to give everybody a common login.
