Login problems when committing changes to svn repository
In order to reproduce this issue, I used the following while checking in
changes to my GPL LICENSE file...
> svn ci -m "Removed instructions from LICENSE file." --username myuserid
--password "pphxC9k4\Q=bNL8:" --trust-server-cert --non-interactive LICENSE
...
svn: MKACTIVITY of
'/svnroot/phpjobseeker/!svn/act/7c893501-f9e4-ec41-9206-1ebc57d5f6e8':
authorization failed: Could not authenticate to server: rejected Basic
challenge (https://phpjobseeker.svn.sourceforge.net)
Obviously, this is not only no longer the password I use (not even close),
but it's also not my userid. When I removed just the \ from the password, it
worked. Prior to that, I kept getting authentication failures. I've filed
this issue with SF asking they warn users when attempting to create
passwords with the \ character in them:

Host is Windows 7. Problem also occurs in SVNKit with Eclipse (Helios SR1)
driving the repository (though it relies on the svn configuration saved by
SlikSVN). I did not have the same problem when using svn on Linux. I did not
try this on other versions of Windows.
I am using ...
