about the (in)security aspects of this</p>
-
+<p>Subversion 1.8 allows the use of the GnuPG Agent (gpg-agent) daemon
+to temporarily store passwords/passphrases used in Subversion server
+credentials.</p>
+
+<p>To take advantage of this, you'll need Subversion binaries built
+with gpg-agent support, the agent itself, and a suitable pinentry
+program. The agent must be running, and the Subversion client will
+need the <tt>GPG_AGENT_INFO</tt> and <tt>GPG_TTY</tt> environment
+variables set correctly in order to make use of this storage
+mechanism.</p>
+
+<p>Note that GnuPG Agent does not persist information on disk —
+your cached passwords will persist in memory until the agent process
+is terminated or its configure time-to-live threshold is reached.
+Note also the (in)security details of this integration, currently
+recorded as a code comment <a
+href="http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/subversion/trunk/subversion/libsvn_subr/gpg_agent.c?r1=1151053&r2=1151069";
