Slightly tangential here - the present behavior is to read the password from standard input, but that is actually bad practice on Unix; we ought to be reading it from /dev/tty. A long time ago I started fixing that, on the net.venge.monotone.read-password-from-dev-tty branch, but I never finished it. It was my intent to implement --passphrase-fd as part of that work.
I don't know enough about Windows to say how it ought to work there, nor do I know enough about what you're doing to say how this change would affect you on Unix, but I thought you should know about it. (Yet another idea: --passphrase-prompter=/path/to/executable; if it needs a password it invokes that program and reads the password from its standard output. The program can then e.g. pop up a dialog box.) zw _______________________________________________ Monotone-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/monotone-devel
