I've searched all over the place but could not find any explanation as
to why Google Code requires you to use their generated password
instead of your gmail password or any other user-defined password. I
did find one post to this group earlier that asked if they could set
their own password, and they received the reply: "No", which tells me
nothing. He also stated "it's hard to remember the password" to which
he received the reply "Then use svn's built in password caching" (and
all I could think is "because that's totally secure</sarcasm>") Many
other SVN repository hosting solutions allow you to set your own
password. In fact, as far as I'm aware, it seems the global norm that
password randomization is only for if you wish to lose your account
without deleting in or having it compromised...

So all I ask is: Why? Why does our code password have to be generated?
Why can't we just set it?
