Manually? Of course not. But I could see us whipping up a tools/ script that takes a URL, username, and password[1], and creates a foo/ dir with foo/auth/svn.simple/d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e, or prints the string "d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e" and the would-be-file-contents to stdout, etc. Consider our own svn-role account. How am I supposed to cache credentials for that account without running 'commit' once interactively? I did that by creating a ~/.subversion/auth/ directory by hand, we could do with a better UI. Daniel [1] and to anyone in the audience thinking "it should prompt for the password rather than take it via argv": yes, of course. > The most likely candidates are a couple new command-line flags, e.g., > --username-file and --password-file. > > -- Brane > > -- > Branko Čibej > Director of Subversion | WANdisco | www.wandisco.com >
