If you are using an old svn commandline client: It will automatically save your password on disk the first time you successfully answer a password challenge. Thereafter, whenever the server sends a challenge (i.e. on every commit), the svn client will automatically send the cached password rather than prompting you.
If you are using a new svn commandline client (like 1.6): The first time it prompts you for a password, it will ask you "Hey, do you want me to cache this password on disk?" If you say no, then it will forever ask you to authenticate on every commit. If yes, it will cache the password and use that cache from now on.
