Yup. There are, as noted, unfortunately a lot of hassles involved
with those tools in a non-GUI environment; what we really need is a
lightweight, secure, standard keyring service. But getting Linux
distros to standardize on *anything* is like herding cats, so I'm not
holding my breath. ;) The assumption seems to be that these are
things that only desktop users really want, so bundling them as part
of the GUI is sufficient. I don't blame Subversion for that, though.
