Unfortunately even though I'm very interested I haven't had time to look closely at this new ssh approach. Is the following use case possible to implemen with your code? I ask because I hear some emphasis on the many-to-one mapping and I'm interested in one-to-one mapping.
Each person given access registers their public key (maybe an administrator checks them in to an admin fossil similar to how gitolite works) . Users do not have a fossil password (but they are registered with the fossil). This might use or be similar to the CGI REMOTE_USER variable workings. Once I have my ssh key entered I should be able to do all operations (clone, sync, commit etc.) without entering my password but the remote fossil knows who I am. Thanks.
