Saying "that wont happen" rather defeats the purpose of a discussion group
doesnt it? Id like to at least discuss the pros and cons a bit before such a
decision is made. so far I havent heard any cons.

Oh yes I know that. But I want the revision of the project in the the repository
to reflect its overall change history. In fact, its a great tool for assesing
active versus passive projects as well as great number of other things. Its all
goodness from what I can see. I cant think of any bad points. If you have some,
lets hear 'em! =)

And if I have a psycho network admin that doesnt want things running over HTTP
at all? Or I have a company where the web server MUST be IAS whether it is a

There are a billion corporate policies. The only way to get a product into a
large number of corporations is to make it uber-flexile. That cant be done if
only one version of the interface supports authorization. Authentication needs
tobe done elsewhere, I wholeheartedly agree. However Auth should happen on the
server itself with options for binding to LDAP as well.
