User info
Hi
I have a little utility that is intended to be run from the root of a
svn working folder. This utility automates some actions by issuing svn
cmds via a command shell. While it is possible to use these commands
natively in the context of the current user, I would like to retrieve
the user login name in order to keep track of who is doing what. Does
anyone have any idea as to how I can get this info?
Thanks
Geoff

if i understood you correctly, and assuming you are working
under linux, the 'id' command may be of help to you. if its
default output format does not suit you, you can pass some
options or use 'cut'.

Well, as per the PDF reference I gave, the svn username is definitely stored
in the file stored in dir: %APPDATA%\Subversion\auth\svn.simple
though you will have to parse it out a little.
Have a look !

The SVN login name may or may not be the same as the OS user name. I
can't make that assumption. I am working under windows by the way.

Linux: $USER
Windows: $USERNAME
Or is the svn login name different from the OS login name ?
Also see svn-book.pdf section Client Credentials Caching:

By default, whenever the command-line client successfully responds
to a server's authentication challenge, it saves the credentials in the
