[issue3161] mercurial does not use command server protocol for passwords

[Sergey Antonov]

New submission from Sergey Antonov <sergant_ at mail.ru>:

I'm trying to run mercurial in command server mode.

I run a command that works with remote server and requires to enter 
credentials (i.e. push). The mercurial asks for username using 'Input' 
channel just fine, but for password it is not.

Here are steps to reproduce:
1. hg clone https://bitbucket.org/zzsergant/testcmdsrv
2. cd testcmdsrv
3. echo 2 >> a.txt
4. hg ci -m "edit"
5. Create cmdsrv.py and copy example client from part 5 at    
http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/CommandServer
6. cmdsrv.py push

If I run this script from console (cmd.exe) it works fine (asked for 
username/password).
But, if I run it from IDE (which redirects output to a tool window), then it 
hang after I enter username.

Looks like it asks for password in a different way, than for username.
Because username is echoed in the console, but password is not.
