This content provider allows to retrieve the content from a
Software Heritage (SWH) persistent identifier (SWHID).
Typical usage:
repo2docker swh:1:rev:94dca98c006b80309704c717b5d83dff3c1fa3a0
It uses the SWH public vault API to retrieve the content of the given
directory.
Most of the times, this will not need an authentication
token to bypass the rate-limiting of the SWH API.
Without authentication, one should be allowed to retrieve one
directory content per minute.
If this is not enought, then the user must use authenticated calls to
the SWH API.
For this, a new `swh_token` config item has been added to the Repo2Docker
application class.
To use authentication:
repo2docker --config cfg.json swh:1:rev:94dca98c006b80309704c717b5d83dff3c1fa3a0
with the swh_token config option being defined in the cfg.json config file.
