[Monotone-devel] privkey packets (bugfix, 5753fc88)

[Timothy Brownawell]

There was a bug in the packet reading that made reading 'privkey'
packets (privkeys exported by 0.23 or earlier) not work correctly. It
would forget to convert the privkey to the new storage format, with the
result that it would no longer accept the passphrase, and the key was
unusable.

This is fixed in 5753fc88803f090d42d7e3a3360192b7edf0a7d9, so reading
old privkey packets should now work. Note that this requires a password,
so you need to either (1) read the privkey from a file, "monotone read
privkey.txt", or (2) define the get_passphrase hook, so it doesn't have
to ask you. (If you read the packets from stdin, it can't ask you for
the passphrase.)

(Also, it can now read a privkey packet without first reading the
matching pubkey packet.)
