If you want to use an ssh-agent, then use the JavaHL client adapter. It
uses an external SSH client. For most people, this is more difficult to
configure, but for that that already have it configured it is a good
option. The JavaSVN adapter, which you are using, uses the Ganymed SSH
library and has its own feature set. Any enhancements you would like to
see made would need to be directed to them at http://tmate.org/
Back to JavaHL, it uses the same configuration as the svn command line
client. So just follow the instructions for configuring SSH with the
command line and JavaHL should work too.
