Automatically provide credentials (username/passwords) read from a file.
This is useful to avoid having to type in your password in some repositories. If you are regularly pushing from/pulling into a checkout that is in a shared or public space, and you don't feel comfortable placing your username/password in the hgrc URL, where others who have access can read them, you can use this to automatically supply the credentials.
The format of the password file is:
realm, uri, username, password realm, uri, username, password ...
The location of the file is '~/.hgpasswd' by default and can be overridden with the environment variable 'HGPASSWD'.
Future work: we could support encrypted files decrypted using gpg (and gpg-agent to avoid having to type your password).
