[jira] [Created] (WHIMSY-104) Handling SVN auth

Sebb created WHIMSY-104:
---------------------------

             Summary: Handling SVN auth
                 Key: WHIMSY-104
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WHIMSY-104
             Project: Whimsy
          Issue Type: Task
            Reporter: Sebb


At present the handling of SVN auth is fragmented.
Scripts constuct the command lines directly and error handling is basic or non-existent.

If there is a problem with the password, SVN lockout can quickly occur.
Password problems are more likely when testing locally, but they can occur on the live site:
If a user changes their password whilst they have a Whimsy session in another browser window, then AFAIK Whimsy won't pick up the new password until they next log in.

A centralised SVN access module could detect a password failure and refuse to issue more SVN commands until the user restarts their session.
