AW: Offer re-prompt to change user authn after failed commit?

AFAIK that's not how SVN simple authentication works.
It's rather like this:

1. Server tells Client to authenticate.
2. Client searches for cached credentials.
3. Client sends cached credentials.
4. Server responds with some "access denied".
5. Client reports to user.

End of story. If access is denied with these credentials you will have to delete them from the credential cache. SVN only asks for new credentials if it can't find any.

As a workaround you could copy your credential files to a (secured) backup location. Once you need to act as another user you copy the according backup file into the SVN auth directory. It will be used the next time the server asks for credentials.

Betreff: Offer re-prompt to change user authn after failed commit?

In TortoiseSVN 1.9.5, on a Windows 10 box [1], I needed to do a commit from an existing working copy, but on that machine, Tortoise only had cached authentication credentials for a read-only user for the repository in question.

"No problem," I thought, "It'll just fail the first commit attempt, because it will default first to the cached user creds, but then it will prompt me for a new username / password pair, the way the command-line client would, and let me commit with those."
