Re: [PATCH] don't store plain-text passwords by default

>From an outsider's perspective, changing the default to not store the
passwords seems like a bit of a six in one, half dozen in the other
proposition. While I appreciate Karl's position that user's may think
about what they are doing more, I think Greg's comment that it "won't
change any realities" is likely very true.

As soon as this patch gets implemented I will tell svn to store my
passwords. I suspect I am not in the minority in this.

Just my $0.02 worth.
