[svk-devel] SVN mirroring with different credentials

[Alexandru Popescu]

Hi!

I am wondering what must be the setup to allow to mirror a SVN where
the credentials are different than your current user. In my case I
have I have such a mirror and when trying to smerge back it looks like
a dance:

svk smerge -I /pub/local/groovy/trunk /pub/groovy/trunk
Auto-merging (0, 11638) /local/groovy/trunk to /groovy/trunk (base
/groovy/trunk:11631).
===> Auto-merging (0, 11157) /local/groovy/trunk to /groovy/trunk
(base /groovy/trunk:11154).
Merging back to mirror source https://svn.codehaus.org/groovy/trunk.
Authentication realm: <https://svn.codehaus.org:443> groovy Repo
Password for 'x':
Authentication realm: <https://svn.codehaus.org:443> groovy Repo
Username:
Password for 'y':
Empty merge.
===> Auto-merging (11157, 11546) /local/groovy/trunk to /groovy/trunk
(base /groovy/trunk:11541).
Merging back to mirror source https://svn.codehaus.org/groovy/trunk.
Authentication realm: <https://svn.codehaus.org:443> groovy Repo
Password for 'x':
Authentication realm: <https://svn.codehaus.org:443> groovy Repo
Username:
Password for 'y':
Empty merge.
===> Auto-merging (11546, 11547) /local/groovy/trunk to /groovy/trunk
(base /groovy/trunk:11542).
Merging back to mirror source https://svn.codehaus.org/groovy/trunk.
Authentication realm: <https://svn.codehaus.org:443> groovy Repo
Password for 'x':
Authentication realm: <https://svn.codehaus.org:443> groovy Repo
Username:
Password for 'y':
Empty merge.

[... and so on... after 25-30 such iterations I finally gave out).

I am quite sure there are better ways to do this, so please let me know.
