Re: git-svn won't remember pem password

I'm running into an issue where I have to enter my pem certificate

described here:

However, that solution of removing .subversion folder did not work for
me.

Hi Igor, this issue seems related to the platform specific auth
providers patches.   There have been bugs in the SVN bindings in
previous releases and uncertainty about how everything works.

I haven't been interested enough to follow along closely[1], but maybe
some other folks Cc:-ed can finally push this through.

Basically I'm waiting for a patch that we can be certain won't break the
majority of existing use cases (especially no triggering of segfaults
and other nastiness in released versions of SVN bindings).
