Authentication plugins cover a lot of potential ground, but at the moment they're only really required to implement VersioncontrolAuthHandlerInterface, which means there are no UI requirements. Which means they either get set programatically, or not at all. We need to figure out what, if any, UI we provide for these in the API itself.

API != UI. My initial reaction is that this should be "won't fix", just on first principles. The API lets you set ACLs programatically. It's up to the users of that API to provide the appropriate UI depending on the circumstances.

I very much tend to agree. It seems like we could probably provide some help functions, but really, they're not necessary.

Really, I was wondering what y'alls thoughts were, since y'all have been implementing it in versioncontrol_project. So, if you think won't fix, that's good enough for me :)
