Possible bug in svn's gnome-keyring support?
Hi,
I noticed after updating svn to version 1.6.6 that svn now has gnome-keyring
support.
However It seems to ignore the --username --password flags if that support
is enabled. I don't use the gnome-keyring or even gnome but subversion
refused to let me commit until I turned off password-stores in the config
despite giving it a valid username and password. Instead it would prompt for
the gnome-keyring password which is not set up for me and refuse to continue
until I successfully authenticated to the keyring.
This seems like the wrong behavior to me. Is it intended?
Here is my subversion information:
svn, version 1.6.6 (r40053)

Also, I guess it could be getting options from system-wide config (/etc/subversion on linux).

If the option is not set, the default behavior is to use what is
available. If you have gnome-keyring support it tries to use it.

There was no password-stores line in my config file. I had to add a
password-stores line to the file to disable it. Is there a second config
file it might be pulling from that I'm unaware of?

It should only use gnome if it is specified in your config file (~/.subversion/config):
password-stores = gnome-keyring

The strangeness is it's insistence on using the Gnome Keyring despite me not using Gnome. Is this the expected default behaviour?

Jeremy,
If svn is configured to use a Gnome keyring, then it is trying to store the password you are giving on the command line in the keyring. Hence it is prompting for the gnome-keyring password. If you also specify –no-auth-cache, then you might not get a prompt.
