Bazaar Subversion Plugin

Prompted for password for svn:// repository during bzr update/commit?

Asked by Michael Chang

I've noticed that I am always prompted for my username and password when accessing my svn repository (which was created using bzr co svn://...).

I was wondering if there was a way to check if the username and password is being stored, and if not, how to fix it.

I'm using the Ubuntu Karmic (9.10) Beta's version of bzr and bzr-svn.

bzr-svn (or Bazaar itself) will never cache your password. You can
explicitly store it in authentication.conf though, and bzr-svn can use
any credentials that the "svn" command-line tool has cached in the
past.

Cheers,

Jelmer
