Q: is it possible to supply password for svn+ssh via command-line arguments?
My colleague want to use svn+ssh access from his script, but doesn't
like public/private keys authentication.
Is there a way to pass ssh password via "svn" command line?
Thanks,
Vitaly

If your ssh takes a password on the command line, then you could include
it in the SVN_SSH environment variable. I don't think OpenSSH allows
that, but plink does.
However, key pair authentication is a lot more secure than hardcoding
passwords into scripts or aliases.

If that is the case, then your friend needs to re-evaluate his
aversion to publickeys with ssh. It is really nice when you have it
set up. Check out http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/keychain-guide.xml for
talk about using publickeys with ssh and a nice utility, keychain,
that helps you manage them.

Thanks, but for some reason svn doesn't pass "--username" and
"--password" to ssh. We can provide username as
svn+ssh://username@10.10.10.1/, but password?

svn co --username joe --password coolness svn+ssh://somewhere/svn/repos
He 'doesn't like public/private keys authentication?' He needs to
re-evaluate his thinking.

If you're being prompted to enter a password, you can use Expect to have
scripts 'type' the password in when prompted. Expect will allow you to
send/receive keystrokes to a program as if there were someone sitting at
the keyboard. It normally ships with Tcl, but I much prefer Perl's
Expect module.
There's an O'Reilly book, Exploring Expect, that will get you started.
ISBN 1-56592-090-2
However, it's easier to setup the public/private keys than to learn
Expect.
