The irony of it is... LOL... oh, the irony is... it was me who originally
added the auto-captcha option to fossil because i got sick of entering the
password manually. It seemed reasonable at the time, but bots have
apparently advanced since then.

Now i've got some 20 others repos to go dig through and find out if they
were violated...

The spammer has been continually spamming that repo since February. There
are hundreds of bogus wiki/ticket entries, but apparently no source code was
tampered with. i've disabled both the auto-captcha and removed several
access settings from the anonymous and reader users, but will also nuke the
repo and re-import everything to avoid the bloat that a month of spamming
has caused.

i'm not sure how he wrote the wiki pages, but he overwrote every one of
them. They were not committed using my account, and my account is the only
one with wiki edit access.
