I don't really understand how the svn client does security but I had
to manually log in to svn a couple times with my new password before
it stuck and I could do a commit without logging in to svn. Have you
tried a plain commit, not through the release plugin?
thanks

Thanks David and Kevan!
I have updated my password at https://svn.apache.org/change-
password. But the error still occurs. Any suggestion?

You should have received an email from Tony Stephenson yesterday on
the apache committers list explaining how you need to update your
apache password so you can continue to use apache's nexus and svn.
In case you aren't subscribed (all commiitters should be):

Folks,
On March 19th we will be changing the source of authentication for
all SVN accounts.
For most Committers, we suggest you update your paswords at:
<https://svn.apache.org/change-password>
This will then sync your passwords, and you will be able to continue
after the cut-over without loss of service.
If you already know your LDAP password, which is also used for logins
to people.apache.org, you do not have to do this.
After the cutover date, your old Subversion HTTP Authentication
password will stop working.
The technical details:
At the moment all committers have a distinct SVN account. This is
essentially an entry in a htpasswd file. As you should all know by
now we have been working on migrating to LDAP, we have now
completed phase 1 of this; we have imported shell/Posix users and
groups.
What we want to do next is remove this local SVN account, and use
LDAP as the authentication provider. This is a simple change, but
has some repercussions that may effect a large number of you.
After we switch over, the password for SVN will be your current
LDAP one. We expect that many of you dont remember your LDAP
password, and so what we want you to do is go and reset your LDAP
password now, to avoid being unable to commit to SVN.
Also, shortly after the LDAP groups were imported Nexus
(repository.apache.org) switched to using LDAP for it's
authentication source. If you use this and discover you have been
unable to login since the cut-over you should use the steps above
to resolve your login issues.
