#20 Encrypted (password protected) key file
Current thinking is to add /dirt lock and /dirt unlock commands to lock (encrypt) or unlock (decrypt) the key file when using a passworded connection.
Generally you would "/dirt lock" the key file once.
You would need to use "/dirt unlock < password >" if you have removed the password.
If you have changed the password then you would have to use "/dirt unlock < old_password >" and "/dirt lock" again.
Adding/changing/removing passwords or locking/unlocking the key file will not drop or invalidate any existing connections or their ability to use the same keys.
Half-way there. The subversion has a completely new, slightly obfuscated (not as humanly readable) key file, but it is a text file now so it can be transferred as "text" (no EOF character and does not depend on unix line endings).
The format might change again so always backup your dirt.ini and dirt.key before using any subversion (the alphas are backward-compatible).
