Make sure that the "common" username (the one everyone sudo's to)
doesn't have write permission to the repository, to prevent laziness.
And make sure ID caching is turned off on the client. After that,
things are easy--whenever you commit, it'll prompt you for the common
user's password; just hit enter, and it'll ask for a full
username/password combo. Much easier to remember & type than the
--username flag.
