That was a quick response!

i'm not using SSH here - the svn repos having this problem are https rather
than svn+ssh (e.g. Google Code), authenticated against credentials the svn
client stored 1+ years ago. If i use kdesvn i do not get prompted for login
info and can commit normally. If i use the command-line client, the keyring
manager wants something from me and i have no idea what. i have verified
that it's happening on all of my repos which use https, e.g.:

stephan@jareth:~/cvs/qboard/trunk$ svn ci -m "just testing gnome-keyring
thingie" config.qmake
Password for 'login' GNOME keyring:
Password for 'login' GNOME keyring:
svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: OPTIONS of 'https://qboard.googlecode.com/svn/trunk': authorization
failed: Could not authenticate to server: rejected Basic challenge (
https://qboard.googlecode.com)
stephan@jareth:~/cvs/qboard/trunk$ svn info
Path: .
URL: https://qboard.googlecode.com/svn/trunk
Repository Root: https://qboard.googlecode.com/svn
...

i've tried killing the keyring manager process, but that doesn't solve the
problem - it's apparently getting re-started as part of the authentication
process.
