Actually I got it working. Sorry, yesterday I used incorrect command
options to set user and password. Below is part of email I sent to my
office mates on how to use it:
On anybody's Cygin command line, I just do:
*svn ls --username my_svn_account_username --password
my_svn_account_password URL_OF_SVN_REPO*
It creates the log in credential file in the directory
*%AppData%/Roaming/Subversion/auth/svn.simple/*
In PC DOS window, the command "*echo %APPDATA%*" (case insensitive) will
show which directory %APPDATA% refers to on your own PC. Each PC is
different.
The bottom line is that since then, you will never need to enter your
username and password anymore when using *svn* command, just like on
Linux--the credential has been saved.
Now, in Cygwin, you can use subversion just like you use it on Linux
terminal. (TortoiseSVN has GUI features which are available when right
mouse clicking in Window Explorer. You won't have this feature by using
centralized S drive subversion since you don't really have TortoiseSVN
installed on your PC. If you really need the GUI features, you need to ask
HOT-LINE to install it on your PC. Then you don't need the S drive version).
