I assume it was a rethorical question but I'll answer anyway for the benefit of the list. There are radically conflicting requirements and priorities between different users. Some want to store the authentication for full in-the-background automation while others won't even allow a software that potentially COULD store authentication credentials unencrypted (and SSH keys are not significantly different than plaintext passwords in this regards, the server setup makes all the difference what you can do if you get hold of the credentials). The difference being how you treat access to ~, if you see it as world readable or if you see it as a secure part of your computer (and in the latter case if you believe all bets are off in case someone has physical access). I'm running a local svnserve, is there a better way to handle this? > If you have the repository locally (I assume you have RW in the repository folder), then you could checkout using the file:// protocol, leaving the server out of the equation completely.
