Comment (by jmroot):
That only adds the feature for svn, but I think this is as fixed as it's
going to get. Neither git nor hg has any simple option for setting the
username and password, preferring (quite reasonably) to use a more secure
credential management system. I think it's also pretty rare for a repo to
require a username and password that are not considered sensitive enough
to avoid storing them in a Portfile.
