git svn init --username ignored

git svn init --username ignored

[Lachlan Deck]

Hi there,

Is it a bug that the when specifying --username=foo for either git-svn  
init or git-svn clone  that this isn't stored in .git/config?

It means that for http[s] urls you need to specify it each time for  
git-svn fetch, for example.

Is there any way to specify it manually in the config file - or would  
that have some bad consequences?

Thanks.

with regards,

Hi,

Subversion already stores credential information in ~/.subversion/ which
git svn should respect and use if available and allowed to.  Did you
disable set "store-auth-creds = no" in your ~/.subversion/config ?

No, it's still commented out.

I simply started by doing:
git svn clone https://somedomain/repo repo --username=lachlan -s
cd repo
git svn fetch // failed without --username

In case the initial passing of --username is tripping it up, I'm  
trying again without specifying it.

Does "svn ls https://somedomain/repo" prompt you for a username?  Does
repeating that command (after successfully running it once) still prompt
you? (it shouldn't prompt you again if you have auth caching on).

If "svn ls" is prompting you every time, then SVN auth caching is
somehow disabled/broken on you system.  You can try poking around inside
your ~/.subversion/ directory and see if there's permissions problems
or such...
