Does anybody know why? Only to make things incompatible, perhaps? ;-)
A brief googling around shows that it also stores it in the Windows registry.
Should we support that too...? ;-)
One thing at a time, Martin :). After I get this patch through, I want
to start working on getting the rest of the Perl script to run under
Windows. I was almost there; the biggest issue is that Perl
implementations (ActiveState, Strawberry) for Windows don't support the
list form of open. I converted most of them successfully, but got stuck
on one so decided to submit this patch first. Thank goodness I did this
separately :).
To answer Junio's question, I'm looking at the CVSNT code now
(GlobalSettings.cpp, if anyone is interested.) The password is stored
in a general fashion like any other user-specified value. So, the
authors elected to use a properties file format of key=value. That is
as valid a format as any other.
