This is strange to me since I have not seen it before. I have svn installed on a newly set up RPi3 running Pi-OS (previously named Raspbian) Linux. I installed svn via apt.
The RPi3 has a GUI, which I can access via VNC through a VPN tunnel (I am working remotely from home). If I start a terminal in the GUI and navigate to the project wc dir and then issue an svn up command a GUI dialog pops up on the side asking me for a password. This happens every time so it seems not to remember what I have entered. Contrast this to when I access another *non-GUI* RPi using PuTTY. When I use the svn up command there everything just executes as expected and no password is requested because I entered it way back when I checked out the wc. Back to the new RPi3, if I access it through PuTTY instead then the svn up command just does exactly nothing, it just sits there! Probably it pushes a GUI login box onto the invisible GUI... How can I configure (?) svn such that it caches the password in the same way as it has done on all of my other RPi units before. I need to be able to work on this device BOTH via SSH login using PuTTY and inside the GUI when connecting via VNC. One difference of course is that the svn client on the RPi3 is a newer version ( 1.10.4 r1850624) than what I have used before and what is used on the svn server (1.9.7).
