sslutil: per-host config option to define certificates Recent work has introduced the [hostsecurity] config section for defining per-host security settings. This patch builds on top of this foundation and implements the ability to define a per-host path to a file containing certificates used for verifying the server certificate. It is logically a per-host web.cacerts setting. This patch also introduces a warning when both per-host certificates and fingerprints are defined. These are mutually exclusive for host verification and I think the user should be alerted when security settings are ambiguous because, well, security is important. Tests validating the new behavior have been added. I decided against putting "ca" in the option name because a non-CA certificate can be specified and used to validate the server certificate (commonly this will be the exact public certificate used by the server). It's worth noting that the underlying Python API used is load_verify_locations(cafile=X) and it calls into OpenSSL's SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations(). Even OpenSSL's documentation seems to omit that the file can contain a non-CA certificate if it matches the server's certificate exactly. I thought a CA certificate was a special kind of x509 certificate. Perhaps I'm wrong and any x509 certificate can be used as a CA certificate [as far as OpenSSL is concerned]. In any case, I thought it best to drop "ca" from the name because this reflects reality.

Synopsis
""""""""
**hg-ssh** repositories...
Description
"""""""""""
**hg-ssh** is a wrapper for ssh access to a limited set of mercurial repos.
To be used in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys with the "command" option, see sshd(8):
command="hg-ssh path/to/repo1 /path/to/repo2 ~/repo3 ~user/repo4" ssh-dss ...
(probably together with these other useful options:
no-port-forwarding,no-X11-forwarding,no-agent-forwarding)
This allows pull/push over ssh from/to the repositories given as arguments.
If all your repositories are subdirectories of a common directory, you can
allow shorter paths with:
command="cd path/to/my/repositories && hg-ssh repo1 subdir/repo2"
You can use pattern matching of your normal shell, e.g.:
command="cd repos && hg-ssh user/thomas/* projects/{mercurial,foo}"
You can also add a --read-only flag to allow read-only access to a key, e.g.:
command="hg-ssh --read-only repos/\*"
