Re: git-svn won't remember pem password

Hi Igor,

quoted

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? Other users have ran into same issue as
described here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/605519/does-git-svn-store-svn-passwords.
However, that solution of removing .subversion folder did not work for
me.

I suspect this would be solved by including what svn calls "platform
specific authentication providers". This works on Linux, but I don't
have access to OSX for testing.

Could you test the patch I pasted below to see if this fixes your
problem? The patch is made against the git source tree (git master
version), but you should probably be able to apply it to your installed
git-svn file as well (it's just a perl script). I'm not sure where that
file lives on OSX though, it's /usr/lib/git-core/git-svn on my Linux
(Debian) system.

Eric, I think I got this feature sorted out finally (there is a second
patch for entering the gnome-keyring unlock password which required some
changes in the subversion bindings which got applied a while ago). Let's
see what the patch does for Igor and then I'll send over both patches
afterwards.

Gr.
