RE: SVN username getting changed ...

Is there a way to instruct TortoiseSVN to explicitly use a particular set of Subversion credentials each time it makes a call to the Subversion server, regardless of what is cached by the Subversion client?

Thanks,

Ken Parrish

It's happening because Subversion caches the most recently used
credentials, and all clients use the same cache. If you pass the
credentials using the command line (--username and --password) it may
not be cached, I don't recall.

They're cached in %APPDATA%\Subversion\Auth
