svn+ssh from windows client

Hi,
I am using svn+ssh to connect to the svnserver. For this I use SSH Secure
Shell (SVN_SSH is set to "ssh2.exe"). Everything works fine. However, for
each action in the SVN-Repository view (like expand tree, show file) I
have to enter my password which is pretty annoying.

Is this a subversion problem or an ssh problem? Any hints on this?

Chris

You are correct (but the name is 'pageant'). However, Christoph is apparently using some other (non-PuTTY) variety of SSH for
windows, so he needs to read the manual for his SSH program looking for things like "authentication agent" and "public key
authentication".

Sorry, forgot you were on win32.  My sources say there's something
similar to ssh-agent, called 'pagent'(?)... part of the win32 putty
package.

This is 'ssh' asking you for credentials, not subversion.  Try setting
up something like ssh-agent.
