Fwd: Suggest a new feature: adding smart card support to windows svn client in version 1.5

Hi

Are they any known solutions for this issue?
If not, I search people who will be able to implement this, because I
need this urgently in the near future.
I am searching for the possibility to select the wanted certificate
from x available on smartcard or on file within the toirtoisesvn
context menu.

Thank You

Christoph

That won't happen. The version 1.5 is due in a few days. We won't add
any new features (especially not such big ones).

That only works on Linux, not on Windows.

You're asking on the wrong mailing list. Such cryptography providers
would have to be implemented in the Subversion library, not TSVN.
