idea: svn:externals wildcard user?

[Andrew Thompson <an...@aktzero.com>]

As soon as I started using svn:externals, I realized that the properties 
I set were only going to be valid for myself when using svn+ssh.

Has anyone considered the utility of a wildcard username feature for 
svn:externals?

Something like:

folder svn+ssh://*@host/path/to/repos

Pondering it briefly, I see that there could be issues in defining 
exactly which usernames you should use for specific hosts, but I'll let 
someone more clever than myself decide if that's something that can be 
resolved. (Perhaps command-line options that are stored in a WC's .svn 
folder.)

/me creeps behind a flame-retardent wall.

Since I normally use plink from Windows, I didn't think I had that option.

Some testing has revealed that if you set up a session profile with the 
same name as the server it will use the information from profile connect 
to the server. I thought that this only worked with their custom "-load 
sessionname" command.

Have *YOU* considered svn+ssh://host/path/to/repos ??

Hint: You can do wonderful things with ~/.ssh/config.
