      How to set Subversion password?
      
        While subversion allows you to specify the '--password' option explicitly in the command line,
        this is generally not desirable when you are using Hudson, because:
      
      
        People can read your password by using pargs
        Password will be stored in a clear text in Hudson
      
      
        A preferrable approach is to do the following steps:
      
      
        Logon to the server that runs Hudson, by using the same user account Hudson uses
        Manually run svn co ...
        Subversion asks you the password interactively. Type in the password
        
          Subversion stores it in its authentication cache, and for successive svn co ...
          it will use the password stored in the cache.
        
      
      
        Note that this approach still doesn't really make your password secure,
        it just makes it bit harder to read.
