How can I stop multiple ssh password requests
Using the svn+ssh protocol requires that my users have to keep passing their
ssh password.
Is there some way I can retain ssh encryption without having to keep passing
the password?
CVS had a mechanism that retained the password detail after login so that the
subsequent operations in the working tree did not require subsequent login.
I hear subversion has a similar mechanism but I cannot find out anything more
about it?
TIA,
Pep.

Yep got my head around that.
I was just looking to see if there was a way other than ssh-agent as I have a
user that will argue just for the sake off it :-)
Cheers,
Pep.

It's ssh prompting you over and over, not svn. Use a tool like
'ssh-agent'. This is exactly what CVS users have to do when they use
CVS over a tunnel (export CVS_RSH=ssh).

Subversion caches passwords too. But it's not Subversion that's
prompting you when you use svn+ssh://.
