Hi Eric.  Thanks for the reply.

It's probably just a matter of adding another entry to the
_auth_providers() function in git-svn.  My thought was that there might
be a new auth provider in the Subversion 1.6 client library for GNOME
Keyring support that could be used for this.

I'll have a search through and see what I can find.


Regards,

Tim.
