Enable git HTTPS authentication via username/password

[glennib]

My organization would love to use Alexandrie for our crates. We run a Gitlab server, with a strict policy of not adding users for computers. We are instead encouraged to use the project access token feature in Gitlab. This feature gives us a token which is used to identify and authenticate to get access to a single Gitlab project (repo) or group. The way to log in is then to use HTTPS with an arbitrary username and the token as password.

For us to be able to use our Gitlab server as the Alexandrie crate registry host, we would need to log in via HTTPS with username/password. Is this on the roadmap? Is it already a possibility? If not, could anyone point me to where in the source to add this feature ourselves?

Thanks in advance.
