Yes see [1] it works but the list members wanted some tool to manage
passwords too which I didn't pursue since it worked for me in its
present form.

Cool, well done. Having re-read that thread, I think Martin Langhoff's
response
http://lists-archives.org/git/641074-authentication-support-for-pserver.html
is the most pertinent. I didn't see any requests for an actual tool to
be written, just that the password file be separate to the git config
file, and/or use crypt() to store its contents. Perhaps point them at
"htpasswd" if they want a tool :)

I was refering to http://www.spinics.net/lists/git/msg53054.html

But yes, your crypt() method should do. I made some cleanups to your
patch so it works now, you can pull the changes from
git://git.nix.is/avar/git if you'd like.

I'm submitting this to the git list again.
