Howdy~--

This note is of no interest to external folks, as it deals with ssh
access to the on-SWAN onnv-clone repository.

As evidenced by the changes for

> 6785939 on-SWAN env files should default to anonymous access for pull

...you may (and in many cases should) now access the onnv-clone via
anonymous ssh.

To use this as a default path in your existing repositories, please utter

> % cd $CODEMGR_WS
> % hg reparent ssh://anonhg at onnv dot sfbay dot sun dot com//export/onnv-clone
> % cd usr/closed
> % hg reparent ssh://anonhg at onnv dot sfbay dot sun dot com//export/onnv-clone/usr/closed

To use this for nightly-driven pulls, please set CLONE_WS and
CLOSED_CLONE_WS appropriately in your nightly env file.

Why this is good:
1. You should not be setting up empty passphrases for general use.
2. This will work well for scripted/unattended access.
3. Folks using Kerberos can avoid hitting 6803026.
