svn blame prompts for password for every. single. file.
Subject pretty much says it all. There's no reason for it to do so;
it manages with any other command I use just fine.

No, those are solutions. Understand the problem and maybe you would see
why.

Using SSH keys is not a work-around but actually a better solution than typing
in passwords. You should really consider it.
That being said, I too think that a new connection for every blame is not a
Good Thing(tm).

Those are workarounds, sure, but I'd rather not have to.

Try using pageant or ssh-agent to store your ssh keys. You will only
have to type the password once per session.
(This assumes you are using svn+ssh as that is the only protocol with
this problem. That, or you turned of credential caching (which would be
a PEBKAC error))

Yes, it would solve the issue at hand. The Subversion code has been
written on the assumption that connections are light-weight objects
which can be created whenever necessary. Blame creates a connection
per target and disposes of that connection right after completion.
Noticing it needs another file blamed, it sets up a new one.

svn+ssh. It occurs with version 1.4 or 1.5. All I'm doing is running
"svn blame file1.c file2.c etc". For every other command I'm familiar
with, I'm prompted only once per run of 'svn' for my password, which
makes sense and is what I want.
In many cases I'm on a temporary machine and setting up ssh keys is
more pain than it's worth. It's also convenient from a security
perspective as I don't have to worry about caching; my password is
required for every single 'svn' invocation. I'm sure I can fiddle
with ssh-agent and whatnot to have immediate timeouts, but, why bother
(and, would it even solve the issue at hand in such a case?) ?

Could you give a little bit more information? Are you running multiple
invocations of 'svn blame', or just one? What authentication method are
you using? Which version of Subversion?
(As you can tell, the Subject line rarely "says it all". A detailed
explanation is always more valuable toward helping solve the problem.)
