passing username and password in non-interactive mode

[Bastian Doetsch]

Hi,

how can I pass username and password on to hg for pull, push, clone,
sign and possibly other commands withouth leaking it? 

- If I use authentication in the URI on initial clone, it is put into
the hgrc file of the repository.
- If I try not to provide it when calling hg from Java, Hg puts itself
automatically in non-interactive mode and I can't authenticate
interactively from Java.

Is there any other way? If not, how about introducing --user and
--password options to all remote commands (and sign)?

Thanks in advance for your help,
Bastian
