Jeremy, If svn is configured to use a Gnome keyring, then it is trying to store the password you are giving on the command line in the keyring. Hence it is prompting for the gnome-keyring password. If you also specify –no-auth-cache, then you might not get a prompt.

Hi, I noticed after updating svn to version 1.6.6 that svn now has gnome-keyring support. However It seems to ignore the --username --password flags if that support is enabled. I don't use the gnome-keyring or even gnome but subversion refused to let me commit until I turned off password-stores in the config despite giving it a valid username and password. Instead it would prompt for the gnome-keyring password which is not set up for me and refuse to continue until I successfully authenticated to the keyring. This seems like the wrong behavior to me. Is it intended? Here is my subversion information: svn, version 1.6.6 (r40053) compiled Dec 12 2009, 05:06:12 Copyright (C) 2000-2009 CollabNet.
