Re: Removing cached authentication tokens

Not sure what was happening. I looked in the /auth directory and sure enough, only
the correct ones were stored.

Please explain the following behavior:

1. Checkout trunk
2. Make changes.
3. Commit trunk
4. svn asks for password - incorrect. Press enter.
5. svn asks for user name - type in user name correctly.
6. svn asks for password - incorrect.
7. svn asks for user name - type in user name correctly.
8. svn asks for password - incorrect again.
9. svn fails. (I think it was 2x - could have been 3x - repeat till failure).
10. commit trunk again, svn reports 500 error, not username or password requested.
11. commit trunk again, svn reports 500 error, not username or password requested.
12. commit trunk again, svn reports 500 error, not username or password requested.
13. commit trunk w/ --username and --password parameters - success.

Confused. Any ideas??

Thanks.
