SVN commandline password Vs key

svn commandline offers username and password options for declaring user and
pw.
Are these options still available when using svn+ssh from te client?
if so how?

In svn+ssh://, authentication is being done in ssh, so there is no
(should be) option to specify a password. You can pass a username
through the URL, though:
  svn+ssh://username@server/path

A quick test showed that you cannot pass a password through this, which
is good:)

If you're loooking for some conveniance, try using ssh-agent in
combination with ssh keys.
