Haven’t used hg, but for git, two solutions:

1. add password in repo url, like: [https://bbusername:password@bitbucket.org/username/my-repo](https://bbusername@bitbucket.org/username/my-repo)

2. setup ssh key, git module has ssh key option.

Now I am searching a solution to pass the password from terminal, like enter ssh password in terminal when use ansible -u user -k, but no idea how to solve it.

Thanks,  
Linbo

The git module contains some logic to auto-accept the hostkey.

Looks like you’ll need to manually add it before the checkout since this hasn’t been added there yet.

(Pull requests would be welcome - take a look at the git module for details).
