SVN w/ http: Remember Password

[lampyridae]

Hi,

At work, I use the command line SVN client in the Ubuntu Terminal to regularly access a SVN repository that is secured with Apache (that is, the address starts with "http://").

The problem is that everytime I do a SVN operation involving the repository I have to repeat my username/password. Is there a way to avoid having to constantly authenticate? I have googled about this to no avail.

Thanks,

François

PS : I'm relatively new to ubuntu, although I know the basics of unix (through school and occasional use of OSX Terminal).

Here is the solution. Somehow, the
~/.subversion folder had an owner and group set to
root, which prevented the SVN client to cache my username/password. I did:

sudo chown -R myusername:mygroup ~/.subversion

...and now, I don't have to constantly type in my username/password anymore!

Hope this helps someone.

François

Thanks for the workaround. I submitted a bug report to the Subversion package maintainers at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/subversion/+bug/816738. Check there for more information on what the cause was.
