Error validating server certificate / The certificate is not issued by a trusted authority

I was able to use SVN with ease (checkin, checkout, update code) until recently the SVN server went through some changes. I started to see the following on each SVN command:

Error validating server certificate for 'https://svn.myserver.com:443':
 - The certificate is not issued by a trusted authority. Use the
   fingerprint to validate the certificate manually!
 - The certificate hostname does not match.
Certificate information:
 - Hostname: de-v-svn
 - Valid: from ...
 - Issuer: I...
 - Fingerprint: ...
(R)eject, accept (t)emporarily or accept (p)ermanently?


It worked fine when I selected  (p)ermanently but had to do it again next time I used  SVN command.

Solution:
Delete ~/.subversion folder.
svn cleanup
svn up
