Re: git-svn won't remember pem password

I'm running into an issue where I have to enter my pem certificate
password every time I git-svn fetch or git-svn dcommit. Vanilla svn
uses OS X KeyChain and remembers my password just fine. Is there a
known solution for this?

I don't know if it is svn that has to remember password, or git that
has to remember password.  Git 1.7.9 learned "credentials API" that
allows integration with platform native keychain mechanisms, and I
think OS X Keychain is one of examples / supported platforms (but it
might not made it into core git)... though I am not sure if it affects
git-svn, or only HTTP(S) transport.

Wow, I just signed up to the mainling list to post about this, but it turns
out the latest message is exactly what I wanted to ask.

Like Eric wrote, I'm pretty sure it is svn that is meant to store the
password here and the perl bindings or the git-svn part fails to deal with
the os x keychain right. With pure svn the keychain authentication works
just fine. If I set up plaintext password storage in the svn configs, then
git svn is also able to store passwords.

There is also this macports ticket [1] that has been around for a while. But
that can only be fixed by an upstream fix here.

I would love to help to get this working, but I'm not sure how I can.

Cheers,
Nikolaus
