Details:


Two problems with mtn passphrase:

1) Major: While we allow the creation of passphraseless keys, we do not allow
to remove the passphrase of an existing key. Furthermore, the error message
should be improved:

mtn: fatal: Botan::Invalid_Argument: Botan: PKCS#5 PBKDF2: Empty passphrase
is invalid
mtn: this is almost certainly a bug in monotone.
mtn: please send this error message, the output of 'mtn version --full',
mtn: and a description of what you were doing to address@hidden
mtn: wrote debugging log to /home/tkeller/private/guitone/_MTN/debug
mtn: if reporting a bug, please include this file

2) Minor: Apparently it prompts the user four instead of three times for the
old password - this is different from the behaviour in other areas and should
be unified
