Hi,
I encountered similar problem with cvs instead of svn. But
since psvn is implemented following same as scheme as pcvs, I
suspect the problem to be similar. I solved it writing a piece
of code caching the password. I did not have much help on this
list. Finally I got to svn with an apache server. In this
configuration passwrd is automatically cached by the svn client
and will only be asked at the first checkout.
Regards
Pierre
