Bug Description
I have added optional support for HTTP basic and digest authentication for the case where one is running loggerhead without a proxy in front of it (such as Apache), but does not wish to have the branch viewer "public". It uses Paste's built-in support for both kinds of auth (plus an htpasswd parser for basic auth from the Trac project, BSD-licensed), so there are no new external dependencies introduced (as HTTP auth support seems to have been in Paste since 0.4).

Setting importance to high as this actually has a patch :)
Could you file a merge proposal for it?
The code looks good to me, in an ideal world we'd have tests for this, but I think the testsuite is currently broken due to some issue with imports.
