Agree. Sorry I missed it.

But the problem will be still here if you trust user under which 
home you are working or if copied homedir e.g. from other machine.

Just to make it clear: I think this is good feature and will 
be happy to use it (and thank you for programming it, BTW). I just 
don't think that making this behaviour default is a good idea, 
this is not what people generally expect from SCM software.
