svn keychain support

Courtenay : October 13th, 2006

Don't know if any of you saw this.. "http://www.friday.com/bbum/2006/09/12/subversion-14-adds-keychain-support/":http://www.friday.com/bbum/2006/09/12/subversion-14-adds-keychain-support/ from the page: "Quite easy, but not automatic. If you remember all of your repository passwords, simply delete the ~/.subversion/auth/svn.simple directory." woot. combined with ssh keychain, there's almost nowhere to type passwords any more. Now, if only I could get cap deploys working properly.. update: download the binary package from "http://www.codingmonkeys.de/mbo/articles/2006/09/13/subversion-1-4-0":http://www.codingmonkeys.de/mbo/articles/2006/09/13/subversion-1-4-0

    One little thing I noticed on the announcement at the SVN site that’s stopped me from upgrading so far:

    Due to various improvements made to the working copy library, the working copy format has changed. Using Subversion 1.4.0 on any working copy created by previous versions of Subversion will SILENTLY upgrade your working copy, which means that previous versions of Subversion will no longer be able to read it.

    I have SVN 1.3 running on all my machines - including a shared hosting server where I’m keeping a lot of my project repos - and I’m not aching to have Keychain support so much that I’d risk something not Just Working when I need it to. (Yeah, yeah—most likely this applies only to my local machines since as far as I know the DB format hasn’t changed. But still, better safe than sorry.)
