This dialog is a confusing feature that JavaSVN added. Basically, what
that dialog wants to ask you is the username you want to use in SVN for
the operations. Some people do not want to use the ID they login to SSH
with within SVN. JavaSVN cannot just use its own dialogs, it has to use a
callback function provided by Subclipse in order to present any UI. We
have not created any specific UI or callback API to ask this question, so
JavaSVN is using the username/password callback to get this information.
Yes, we hope to remedy this eventually.
Maybe something about what you are entering in the dialog if causing the
hang? I think that the JavaSVN SSH can also be susceptible to unexpected
feedback from the SSH server.
