With `http basic' authentication, worrying about plaintext passwords
being stored on the client side has got to be some kind of joke -- the
things are flying over the net in cleartext too. Therefore I think
the current default is fine :-).

A repository that's doing some truly cryptographically secure method
of authentication presumably isn't storing stuff in plaintext on the
client side anyway.
