Hmm, this isn't the behavior I'm seeing. I checked in a small bit of code
where all files where under one directory (repos/code). I ran several
different commands sort of trying things out and had to authenticate user
name and password about 5 times. The rough order I did things was:
svn co http://servername/repos/code
cd code
svn status -vu .
edit local_file1
svn commit
svn status -vu .
svn update
edit local_file2
svn status -vu .
svn commit
svn status -vu .
svn update
svn status -vu .
svn status -vu .
svn cp local_file3 new_file4
sv status -vu .
svn commit
sv status -vu .
svn update
svn status -vu .
I didn't notice any correlation with time on when it asked. Since it's
supposed to cache the username/passwd stuff, I'll look into figuring
out when it asks and when it doesn't.
