Lachlan DeckHi there,
Is it a bug that the when specifying --username=foo for either git-svn init or git-svn clone that this isn't stored in .git/config?
It means that for http[s] urls you need to specify it each time for git-svn fetch, for example.
Is there any way to specify it manually in the config file - or would that have some bad consequences?
Thanks.
with regards, --

Hi,
Subversion already stores credential information in ~/.subversion/ which git svn should respect and use if available and allowed to. Did you disable set "store-auth-creds = no" in your ~/.subversion/config ?

No, it's still commented out.
I simply started by doing: git svn clone https://somedomain/repo repo --username=lachlan -s cd repo git svn fetch // failed without --username
In case the initial passing of --username is tripping it up, I'm trying again without specifying it.

Does "svn ls https://somedomain/repo" prompt you for a username? Does repeating that command (after successfully running it once) still prompt you? (it shouldn't prompt you again if you have auth caching on).
If "svn ls" is prompting you every time, then SVN auth caching is somehow disabled/broken on you system. You can try poking around inside your ~/.subversion/ directory and see if there's permissions problems or such...
