I do not know where the problem might be, but it works for me...
I am on Mac OS X Leopard with no custom installs, and cap/subversion
does not prompt when used with remote repository, accessed via https
url. I did initial access using command line svn with flags for
username and password (which are both different than my login username/
password) and after that everything is quiet.
Subversion is 1.4.4 and cap is 2.1.0...
