Hi all,

It seems that, sometime after I wrote gitolite's 'htpasswd' command, the
real 'htpasswd' command acquired some nice options:

-i to take password from stdin, so it's not visible to "ps"
-B to use bcrypt instead of md5
-s to use SHA1 instead of md5

My question is: if I change gitolite's htpasswd command to
unconditionally use "-i" and one of the other two when calling the real
one, will any of you be affected?

Please check your htpasswd man page and let me know if those options
don't exist.

thanks
sitaram

PS: thanks to Stephen for (inadvertently) bringing this to my notice.
