I agree this would be a good thing. When using monotone via automate, monotone is a back-end, and the front-end should assume all responsibility for prompting. I don't see what the security issue is. Unless the connection between the front-end and the back-end is over an unencrypted network? -- -- Stephe _______________________________________________ Monotone-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/monotone-devel
