Hi all,
Please forget my request below :-)
I found the error. In fact, the authentication did not fail at all. I
was just asking for a username and password again because the
authorization was denied by svn server. (by the way, it's strange to not
receive on client-side a message notifying that access right was
denied). In addition, I let a white space character between the name of
the repository and the path, which was not supported by svn server.
Have a nice day
Cheers,
Vincent
PS: Subversion is really a cool and powerful tool !
