svn + ssh multiple auth

when using svn+ssh without public key, is there a way to reduce ssh
calling ?

for now, it asked for password multiple times, a bit annoying

# svn co svn+ssh://touche@localhost/path/to/svnroot/projet1/trunk/a a
touche@localhost's password:
touche@localhost's password:
touche@localhost's password:
A ...
[...]

for update and commit, it's only one time it seems, which is ok.


Regards

No, it can't be less, Subversion's client library occasionally needs
to make multiple connections to the server to accomplish various
things.  Over ssh that means you make multiple ssh connections.

One potential option that might work for you is ssh connection
caching, which solves this problem at the ssh level instead of at the
subversion level, it'll still make multiple connections sometime, but
it will keep them around so it won't need to recreate them as often.

the problem is not caching, i don't want it.
problem is how many times svn calls ssh. on checkout it seems 3 times,
so 3 pass.
question is, could it be less or not.

another solution woud be to use pure file access but it seems not
adequate for multiple hosts and mulitple users.
for example, writing(commit) are made with the local user and could let
some read-only file not usable by others.
or is there a way to set umask for svn access ?

I am sorry for the wrong subject, it should be "Question about a web

No; as far as I understand it, using the keys is the solution to the  
multiple password request issue.
