svn credentials caching

SVN client has a built-in system for caching authentication credentials on disk. It saves the credentials in the user's private runtime configuration area

~/.subversion/auth/ (Unix-like systems)
%APPDATA%/Subversion/auth/ (Windows)


If you dont want to catch the credeitials for a commit, use --no-auth-cache.
$ svn commit --no-auth-cache

Here we are telling the svn client that dont cach authentication credentials.

You can disable credential caching permanently by editing your runtime config file (located next to the auth/ directory). Set store-auth-creds to no.

[auth]
store-auth-creds = no

SVN red book

I normally use Subclipse plugin for Eclipse for SVN operations. It really makes life easy. I am a novice when it comes to performing svn operations using SVN commands. I found a very useful resource for that: HTML version of SVN red book (for subversion 1.5) Hope you find this useful :)
