[Users] carpetmercurial password?

Wed May 23 14:43:51 CDT 2012

Wait: Not user error.

I don't want to use anonymous checkout of all thorns.

I want authenticated checkout to my own repository and thorns I'm a
co-developer for, but anonymous checkout for repositories I don't have
passwords for.

Someone will say, "But how is GetComponents" supposed to know this?
I recall in the past, being prompted with "Use anonymous access?" or being
told "Enter '-' for anonymous checkout [-]".

But with the Carpet thorns it just gives you a repeating password prompt,
with no opportunity to tell it that you want anonymous access.

Is there a way to enable the above?

Thanks.
