Description

I use SVN and enabled a Repository in one of my projects. Everything works GREAT!!!

So, this is just a "nit". Other passwords that Redmine stores in the DB are encrypted/mangled however not the Repository user password.

within the "repositories" table, column "password" is stored in plain text.

I think this should be encrypted/mangled like the others.

Unlike user passwords, repository passwords can't be hashed. You can turn on repository password encryption by setting a secret key in your configuration file (config/configuration.yml). Please read source:/tags/2.3.0/config/configuration.yml.example#L142 carefully.
