[issue3208] Revsets can cause (multiple) password prompts

[Martin Geisler]

New submission from Martin Geisler <mg at lazybytes.net>:

Jan and I were looking at where users can be prompted for passwords so that 
we can provide some logic for this in JavaHg.

But then we realized that all commands that take revsets can prompt for 
login information! As in:

  $ hg log -r "outgoing('https://bitbucket.org/mg/test') - 
outgoing('https://bitbucket.org/nesneros/test')"
  http authorization required
  realm: Bitbucket.org HTTP
  user: interrupted!

Here the user get the same realm in both cases and it's difficult to know 
which prompt is for which repository.

Could we add more to the output, such as

  http authorization required for https://bitbucket.org/mg/test

?
