(There might also be a python script; I don't remember.) I am having problems working with svn on several platforms, like RaspberryPi and Ubuntu Mint. From some updated version of subversion passwords are no longer cached by svn itself and hence the operating system pops up a dialog in the GUI to fill in for executing say an svn update. But I mostly work on the command line, very seldom on the GUI so I don't see this.... When it first appeared I just saw a failing svn command and could not understand why. Now I know what was going on and so I have to VNC to the machines (they are mostly remote from my location) and thereby getting a GUI. Then I do the svn command in PuTTY and when it stalls I go over to the VNC GUI and sure enough: There is the pop-up window to be filled in. Pretty darn dumb decision to remove the password cache from svn if you ask me... Anyway I would be *very interested* in adding such a script for caching an svn password on my machine to get rid of this problem! -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden
