Hi Graham, To use credentials from ~/.subversion directory one can create auth manager with SVNWCUtil#createDefaultAuthenticationManager and pass it to the object that interacts with the SVN repository (depending on abstraction level it can be SVNRepository, ISVNRepositoryPool, SVNOperationFactory or SVNClientManager) via setAuthenticationManager() call.
For details of ~/.subversion directory support look at the sources of this class DefaultSVNAuthenticationManager. SVNAuthentication class represent just different credentials like "user/password" or "private key/passphrase". DefaultSVNAuthenticationManager involves all Subversion behaviour (including passwords prompt, caching, encryption, providing proxy settings and so on). If you want SVNKit to use credentials ~/.subversion in read-only mode, create DefaultSVNAuthenticationManager with SVNWCUtil#createDefaultAuthenticationManager that accepts 'storeAuth' (there're several methods with this name) passing 'false' as the value. -- Dmitry Pavlenko, TMate Software, http://subgit.com/ - git-svn bridge > Hi all, > > Svnkit can read subversion's native configuration files in the .subversion > directory, and this seems to work fine.
