Thanks for the quick response. I just used --username and it worked and
when I rechecked the content of 3524aab2cf3ccb88f71730a386c0efcf, it now has
my id & pw in it. Thanks again.

Use the --username switch, at least the first time you run an svn
command. I don't recall whether that'll be cached in place of the
previous one or not; I want to say yes.
