Some more info:

It seems that people using the command line client, or other
Subversion clients are also running into this problem (minus the modal
dialogs of course).

Apparently Google Code is sending one of two SSL certificates back (at
random) on every new connection to an https Google Code URL.  One of
these certs is signed by Thawte, one by Google themselves.  Every time
there's a mismatch between a previously accepted certificate for a
particular URL and one that's being used on a new connection, SVN
chokes and asks the user to accept the new certificate.

Everything seems to point out that this is a problem with Google Code,
not with Versions or Subversion in general.  We're still looking for a
workaround and ideally for a solution.

Like Nick said, turning of working copy badges will help, because
every time those are refreshed a new connection is made.  It won't
make the problem go away completely, but you'll see a lot fewer
dialogs.

Importing the *.googlecode.com certificate that Google signed
themselves in your Keychain will not fix the problem, at least it
doesn't for me; I still get the dialog asking me to accept the
certificate, the difference is that the dialog claims the certificate
is set to be trusted (which I just did in Keychain Access) instead of
untrusted.

If anyone here knows someone at or close to Google Code, please ask
them to take a look at this thread.  Any help we can get to clear this
up would be appreciated. :)
