Re: Why does SVN prompt me for a password every time, after a domain migration?

Subversion caches that stuff in "%APPDATA%\Subversion", I believe in a
file called 'auth'. Can't test right now because I'm not on a
Windows system at the moment. Perhaps the owner did not get updated
and the new domain can't write the the directory/file? You can look
around there. Possibly just delete the directory/file - however,
other options and passwords will go away -- be reset to the default.
