I cannot quite figure out how but the Eclipse SVN plugin is locking me
out of AD even when it doesn't have invalid credentials. I notice that
I am working along doing many compares and merges and all of a sudden it
asks me for my AD password. At that point I'm locked out. Eclipse is
the only thing that could be responsible because every thing else runs
24/7 and has no problems.
I'll update it to see if it improves...

Ok, from your description of the way the library behaves there is
no retry logic in it for Auth failures, and this must be happening

Thankyou for your analysis and have a good day!
This is why in Subclipse we do not cache your password in any way and
leave it up to the Subversion library. The way it should work is that
SVN library will read its cache and try to use those credentials.
When they do not work it will fire callback API that will cause you
to get prompted for new credentials. Ideally (and I am not sure this
true) the Subversion library should clear its cached credentials once
they are invalid. If it does not do this, and you have many projects
in Eclipse, then I could see it still being possible to disable your
password as each SVN API call for each of those projects might cause
this sequence to happen. That said, the calls are all happening in
one thread so I would expect the first one to cause you to have to
enter new credentials.
I think the other Eclipse plugin, Subversive, allows you to type your
credentials into its UI and save them. In which case, it could be
causing this to happen. I think, but am not sure, if you do not enter
any credentials in their UI, then they allow the SVN library to manage
this which might solve the problem.
