Password for 'user':

Under /cygdrive/d/tmp created directory '.subversion' with empty
subdirectories:

svn.simple svn.ssl.client-passphrase svn.ssl.server svn.username

I edit '/cygdrive/d/tmp/.subversion/servers', so I have

[global]
store-passwords = yes
store-plaintext-passwords = yes
store-auth-creds = yes

When I many time repeat

$ HOME=/cygdrive/d/tmp svn ls

I always prompted for password.

Under '/cygdrive/d/tmp/.subversion/svn.simple' there no any file created.

http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2009-07/msg00280.html discuss much same problem
and at http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2009-07/msg00284.html person promise
fix for 'password-stores = windows-cryptoapi'.

But I need any working caching schema!

I run

$ svn up

enter password and now all command work successful !

So I remove '/cygdrive/d/tmp/.subversion/svn.simple/1c08ce99a650bca1853cd749b4962d8'
and try again authenticate myself by 'svn ls' command.


And get previous buggy behavior.

So I can not use 'svn ls' for caching password.

But 'svn update' change state of my repo - not good command.

So I try another commands. This done job for me:

$ svn log . | head -n 1

or may be safer:

$ svn log -r BASE .

which don't change state of repo and require a few network resources.
