publish does not find changes after tagging

[ChrisRackauckas]

RE: JuliaLang/METADATA.jl#6780 I get the following error:

julia> using PkgDev

julia> PkgDev.tag("ParameterizedFunctions")
INFO: Tagging ParameterizedFunctions v0.0.1

julia> PkgDev.publish()
ERROR: There are no METADATA changes to publish
 in (::PkgDev.Entry.##4#9{String,Dict{String,Array{String,1}},String})(::Base.LibGit2.GitRepo) at C:\Users\Chris\.julia\v0.6\PkgDev\src\entry.jl:72

 in publish() at C:\Users\Chris\.julia\v0.6\PkgDev\src\PkgDev.jl:70

so I usually have to manually push to METADATA and manually push the tags (oops, forget this sometimes). FWIW this only happens on Windows for me, so many time I just change to a Linux computer. But I've had this happen on multiple Windows computers over the course of a few months.

Sounds like it might be #28, which should be fixed on master and just needs a tag.

After deleting the tag to start over:

julia> Pkg.checkout("PkgDev")

julia> PkgDev.tag("ParameterizedFunctions")

Hm. What does git status say in METADATA?

[ChrisRackauckas]

I saw there was a problem with my configuration somehow, so I reconfigured. However, it won't get the two-factor authentication right. I get:

julia> PkgDev.publish()
INFO: No new package versions to publish
INFO: Validating METADATA
INFO: Submitting METADATA changes
INFO: Forking JuliaLang/METADATA.jl to ChrisRackauckas
INFO: Creating a personal access token for Julia Package Manager on GitHub.
        You will be asked to provide credentials to your GitHub account.
Enter host password for user 'ChrisRackauckas':
INFO: Two-factor authentication in use.  Enter auth code.  (You may have to re-enter your password.)
Authentication code: 
Enter host password for user 'ChrisRackauckas':

and what's weird is that the authentication code and the password actually show up as plain text, and I have to hit enter an extra time to finish the authentication code command.

[tkelman]

Hm. The authentication prompts here should probably be changed to use the more-secure password prompting that was introduced in Base along with the ssh work.
