Possible approaches are being discussed in the ticket:

http://mercurial.selenic.com/bts/issue2502

The problem is:

* the error really arises in a python library (keyring) which is used
by a mercurial extension (mercurial_keyring)
* keyring maintainers don't seem prone to accept such a patch since
they think it's got nothing to do with their lib
* mercurial_keyring maintainers chose keyring because it's really an
abstraction library - it lets client code to "forget" what particular
keyring implementation is using, so it really seems an overkill.

I'll try pushing a patch to mercurial_keyring as well, but if it's
bounced again I'll either need to fork or to forget about keyring
credentials caching in mercurial under linux.
