Mac Keychain - remember svn+ssh// password

Question

I'm using Snow Leopard and I access svn through the standard commandline:

svn co svn+ssh//myusername@example.org/svn/myproject

How can I get Keychain / svn to remember my password?

Answer 1

So I seem to have this working by simply creating a keychain in KeyChain Access that matches my svn user name... ? can it be that simple?

I'll be curious to know if that fixes it for you.

Answer 2

svn from version 1.4 onwards supports Keychain passwords, but perhaps there is something to do with svn+ssh that means they aren't being used in your case.
I recommend trying out a proper Mac OS X SVN client instead.

Answer 3

I would recommend using SSH keys instead. You'll find that once set up they're far easier to manage from the command line.
