Hi commiters,
For those who may have not noticed this message. Note: you can keep the same
password on LDAP
Thanks to Ashish for the suggestion of forwarding

Folks,
On March 19th we will be changing the source of authentication for all
SVN accounts.
REMINDER :: We still intend to make this change. If you do not know if
this affects you or not you should read the original email below.
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.
