If I'm not mistaken, this will *not* in fact use an encrypted connection
to protect logins from network sniffing (such as when working from a
coffee shop wireless network) for syncing with the command line
interface of Fossil SCM.  Is that correct?  If so, I'm afraid that is
not going to work for my needs.

I am curious about some of the other things you mentioned in the email,
and would like to look into them and perhaps ask more questions about
them, but for now I want to focus on whether this solution is actually
suitable to my needs at all.

Thank you for the prompt response.
