SvnServePasswordStore and case sensitivity

[Nibbler]

SvnServePasswordStore uses Configuration to read the passwd file which forces the usernames to lower case. This is not desirable if you wish to use usernames that are not all lower case.

TracAccountManager 0.3.2

The fix is certainly valid, regarding ​this StackOverflow answer.

But do you really only want to adjust casing for the file specified in trac.ini, not for the one hinted in svnserve.conf? At least this is what I read from your proposed patch.

[Steffen Hoffmann]

As a side-note: I fear, there are even more shortcomings with this part. From reading the code I suspect, that it is not yet ready for the multi-repos support in Trac 0.12, but I've no use for software development here, so no repository for immediate testing.

It's not clear from the context of the patch but the fix applies to both cases.

You are probably right about multi-repos support, we don't use it.

Replying to Nibbler:

Ok, I'll take your word for this and require positive feedback after changeset to include it into the next official release (tags-0.7).

Nevermind. Many more things to take care, before this could get into focus.

Thanks to Nibbler for report as well as the suggested fix.

(In [12398]) AccountManagerPlugin: Releasing version 0.4, pushing development to acct_mgr-0.5dev.

Availability of that code as stable release closes #874, #3459, #4677, #5295, #5691, #6616, #7577, #8076, #8685, #8770, #8791, #8990, #9052, #9079, #9090, #9139, #9246, #9252, #9547, #9618, #9676, #9843, #9852, #9940, #10023, #10028, #10123, #10142, #10204, #10276, #10397, #10412, #10594, #10625 and #10644.

Some more issues have been worked-on, yet without confirmed resolution, refs #5464 (for JiraToTracIntegration), #8927 and #10134.

And finally there are some issues and enhancement requests showing progress, but known to require more work to resolve them satisfactorily, refs #843, #1600, #5964, #8217, #8933.

Thanks to all contributors and followers, that enabled and encouraged a good portion of this development work.
