In this case the script will still ask for a password so it's not really better.
But I just found the --non-interactive flag that will just fail if the user is not
known. So I could make the script fail before it does anything else. Now
I just need another way to ignite authentication. I don't like the dummy
repository idea that much. Maybe the locked down read access is a
better way. Need to think it over.
Thanks for ideas.
