Storing encrypted password on Linux for automated builds with https://

We recently switched from svn+ssh:// to https:// access for Subversion on our Linux desktops, by configuring Subversion to store passwords in a secure manner using Gnome Keyring. So far, so good. The performance increase in checkouts, updates, logs, etc. is noticeable. However, I haven’t been able to figure out how to get our automated builds, which run on headless servers, to use https:// for Subversion checkouts without requiring a password. In case it matters, we are using Electric Commander for our builds.

I surely can’t be the first one to want to do this. So what are the best practices surrounding automated builds and secure checkouts via https:// from Subversion servers? I must be missing something obvious...
