Hi
How do I make git-svn authenticate with client-side certificates?

Using strace, I can see that it reads my ~/.subversion/servers file and checks my (encrypted) certificate. But then ssl_client_cert_pw is called rather than ssl_client_cert (both are from Git::SVN::Prompt).

I couldn't find any useful hints.

I had a similar problem with Svk. I ended up patching SVN::Mirror::Ra to behave differently in the presence of a specific environment variable, which is quite non-elegant: the subversion client should know when to use a certificate.
