I haven't considered using the svn-ssh approach so my argument may just have
been shot down but we're quite fond of using https especially with how easy
it is to overcome firewall issues (more like dev vs. operation (human)
issues with opening up the firewall) and with how quickly we can access data
using a browser.
I'm always using the '--no-auth-cache' command line parameter myself
(although this is such a pain). SVN on windows seems to take advantage
of windows facilities to encrypt the password. I imagine that on the
BSD/Linux side, services like this aren't so 'universal' (I'm not sure of
that but not meant to be a crack at Linux, Love Linux ;).
