Calling svn log from a program with username and password (OSX)

Hi all,

I'm writing a program that processes the XML results of svn log. After
following a bug, I found that on OSX the following example would fail to use
the specified username and password:

ben> svn log --username someoneelse --password secret
ssh+svn://myserver.com/repo/trunk -r 1 -v --xml
ben_at_myserver.com password:

Notice that is is using the current shell user name and not the username
provided in the command arguments, nor the password.

So my question(s) are:

- Is anyone aware of any reasons why svn log would ignore the --username and
--password arguments. If so, what are these conditions? I can't find any
documentation that suggests that they would be ignored under any
circumstances.

- Is anyone aware of this issue at all? Is this an OSX only issue? If so,
anyone aware of a work around?

- If this is a potentially problemeatic way of calling svn log, does anyone
know of a better way of getting the xml results of svn log whilst providing
the url, username and password?

Thanks for your help.

Cheers,

Ben
