I don't know of a workaround, all you can do is make the file writable again yourself I think.
I think SVNKit makes it read-only automatically when you change your password (svnkit prompts for your new password, then caches it in the svn.simple file, thereby making the file read-only). I'm not using SVNKit myself anymore, but ran into this while using IntelliJ IDEA: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-129175 (Subversion actions very slow after password change). The problem became apparent when IDEA offered the option to use a command line svn client for 1.7 and higher (so we switched to native svn, which had difficulty with the read-only status of the password cache). -- Johan On Tue, Nov 17, 2015 at 10:04 AM, Thusitha Thilina Dayaratne < thusithathil...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Johan, > > Thanks for pointing this out.
