svn ignores --password and prompts anyway

[Steve Perry <st...@makotoconsultinggroup.com>]

I'm running svn client 1.4.2 (r22196) and it appears that when I pass
the --password option to svn (if I'm, say, doing a log to see what's
changed) I am prompted for a password anyway.  Normally, I wouldn't
grumble about this, but I am using the svn client with Cruise Control,
so this is going to be a problem...  It is definitely the svn client,
though (and not Cruise).  When running as, say, user cruise, I type:

svn --password foo log whatever/myproject

I am still prompted for a password.  No dice either when I try:

svn --username cruise --password foo whatever/myproject

(even though, like I said, I'm running as user cruise). ** Other than
needing to interactively enter the password in order for the command
(and any other command I've tried, btw, such as checkout) to succeed, it
works fine. **  Anyone ever run into this?  This is really putting a
damper on my Cruise Control mojo...  Thanks for any (useful) help.

Precisely.  See
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.serverconfig.svnserve.html#svn.serverconfig.svnserve.sshauth,
the part that includes "remember that it's the ssh program prompting
for authentication, and not the svn client program."

Unfortunately, --non-interactive appears to be ignored as well.  My URL
is of the form 

svn+ssh://server_name/path/to/repos

Could SSH be doing something under the hood (like forcing interactive
authentication)?

Does it work when you pass --non-interactive?
