Yeah, it sucks++ and it's a major issue I have with https+svn. But
it's only going to get worste
once we move over to ssl client certificate authentication ... The
only thing needed is the same
thing as ssh-agent, but for ssl keys.


Why is it worse?
I'm surprised they want to use https+svn since I've found ssh+svn to
be much faster and less resource intensive on the box.


That's indeed the case.

I'm sure however that the administration of https+svn is probably
less than ssh+svn since it doesn't require Unix users, keys, etc.

Bingo! Right on. I was talking to infra folks and they are looking into the future and administering
1000+ unix users with shell accounts is much much more complex than if these 1000 accounts are
all confined within the realm of a htaccess file ;-)
