Svn Keeps Prompting Me for Passwords and Refuses to Cache My Credentials

SVN keeps prompting me for passwords and refuses to cache my credentials

You need to use Public Key Authentication with SSH:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Keys

It will enable you to used svn over ssh without entering a password every single time, with help of a common SSH agent.

Subversion itself caches credentials only to servers using HTTP/DAV.

Eclipse keep asking about SVN credentials

Create a new workspace (e. g. by using the command line argument -data) and import your project(s) from the old into the new workspace.

Subclipse + SVNKit keeps asking for credentials when connecting through svn+ssh

Eventually it turned out that there was a problem with they key. It was encrypted with DSA instead of RSA and the server wasn't set up for it.

Why I got no message about a bad key pair is beyond me, but with a correct key it worked.

Can't make SVN store passwords, even though the configuration is set to allow it

Thanks to your comments I found the problem - it's the settings in the servers file (don't store plain passwords). I wonder why there is this redundancy with the [auth] section of the configuration file. The SVN book also does not mention this when talking about storing passwords.
