Can we make it so that the tools log in for us? Well, yes, I suppose it can by one updating one's repository string?
MCHttpRepository location: 'http://www.squeaksource.com/' user: 'myaccount' password: 'mypassword'
I'm happy to have a required login, and I'd like to avoid having to manually log in anywhere too.

I'd rather we all had accounts too I think. Sometimes I'm not clear on what came from who by initials alone. It's nice to see what different people are working on.

The change necessary to the source server would not be too hard I think. But identifying uploaders would be helpful IMHO. It's also good for bragging, since only if you are logged in are commits counted for you :) Does anyone think it would be too much of a burden to create an account? - Bert -
