Re: Subclipse: Authentication cancelled using SVN 1.2.1

Yeah, I tried changing the private key format to OpenSSH. Here's what
I've found. You either have to specify the connection info in the SVN
config file OR in subclipse. Mixing is not an option. For example, I
was getting authentication cancelled when i entered the username in
the subclipse dialog box but left the password authentication empty
opting instead for the config file with it's private-key. So I left
both the username and password box empty, passed -l username to the
config file and it worked fine. Does that sound about right?
