I believe SVN will cache your username (and optionally password, in cleartext!) forever in ~/.subversion/auth. I have no idea if Tortoise writes to the same area or not.

I know very little about how svn works in this respect. :) -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
