Hi,
An easier option for the inefficient, yet very useful, svnmerge
script/program is to avoid using a paraphrase for the ssh public key
which is registered at Gna!. The insecure paraphrase is not the
password and not really that necessary. Key swapping has already
occurred by registering the key and hence the password is not asked
for.
Regards,
Edward
