SSL is just one of those things that never really\n \"clicked\" for me (ssh on the other hand...)\n\n-- \nEric Wong\n"},{"id":"122788","messageId":"4AA84F46.6010706@hp.com","threadId":"20747","inReplyTo":"20090905064649.GD22272@dcvr.yhbt.net","subject":"Re: [git-svn] always prompted for passphrase with subversion 1.6","fromName":"Tim Potter","fromEmail":"tpot@hp.com","sentAt":"2009-09-10T00:58:46Z","receivedAt":"2009-09-10T00:58:46Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"tpot@hp.com","avatar":null},"body":"Eric Wong wrote:\n> Tim Potter wrote:\n>> Hi everyone.

Thanks for the reply.\n\nIt's probably just a matter of adding another entry to the\n_auth_providers() function in git-svn. My thought was that there might\nbe a new auth provider in the Subversion 1.6 client library for GNOME\nKeyring support that could be used for this.\n\nI'll have a search through and see what I can find.\n\n\nRegards,\n\nTim.\n"},{"id":"158051","messageId":"4D078048.3040602@outoforder.cc","threadId":"20747","inReplyTo":"4AA84F46.6010706@hp.com","subject":"Re: [git-svn] always prompted for passphrase with subversion 1.6","fromName":"Edward Rudd","fromEmail":"urkle@outoforder.cc","sentAt":"2010-12-14T14:33:44Z","receivedAt":"2010-12-14T14:33:44Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"urkle@outoforder.cc","avatar":null},"body":"On 09/09/2009 08:58 PM, Tim Potter wrote:\n> It's probably just a matter of adding another entry to the\n> _auth_providers() function in git-svn.
