I ran into this issue today on my command line SVN client.
Every time I ran the SVN command against my repository, it asks for my password. It does remember the username but doesn’t store the password.
There are a couple of settings to check in two different files:
- .subversion/config
- .subversion/servers
.subversion/config
The config file contains a setting which sets the password store you will be using. We need to disable all password stores and use an empty list, which is done by uncommenting (or adding) the next line
password-stores =
.subversion/servers
The servers file contains settings which allow you to save your passwords in general and to save the passwords in plaintext (please be careful when choosing this option!)
This file is divided in sections which are set with the [] brackets. In the [global] group you should uncomment (or add) the following lines:
store-passwords = yes store-plaintext-passwords = yes
