Svn identity/ login

If subversion in eclipse is pestering you for login credentials every few seconds, then your credentials may have got corrupted.

You can reset the stored credentials by deleting the auth directory.

This is usually located at

Unix (linux/ Osx)
~/.subversion/auth

Windows:

USER_HOME/Application Data/Subversion/auth

Taken from http://osdir.com/ml/version-control.subversion.subclipse.user/2006-08/msg00029.html


.keyring file only used when JavaSVN adapter is selected.

Also, your repository may allow anonymous read access, so browsing and
update operation doesn't require you to log in. Supclipse only prompts for
credentials when credentials are requested by Subversion server.
