Ahhhh…
In that case you stumbled upon an old bug in the libsvn_ra_neon code, where we
didn’t properly store the password in certain scenarios after a successful
request. (There is probably an issue number somewhere)
These bugs were fixed for 1.7, and the whole libsvn_ra_neon library removed for
1.8.

svn log differes from svn co/up
No – our server asks always for a password, but the client does not ask to
store it. I had to enter the password for the svn log everytime.
Only if I use a svn co/up the server also asks, but in that case the client
asks to store it.

Does your server support anonymous read only connections?
If it allows those, it is completely expected that it doesn't use a password
for authorizing things like log… and therefore never updates/stores passwords
in that case.

Hello,
I detected an unexpected behaviour of the subversion client (Debian 7.7, svn
version 1.6.12 (r955767)):
The configuration settings of store-plaintext-passwords (yes/ask/no) are only
validated if I execute svn commands like checkout or update, but not for a
simple ‘svn log’ command:
- the password file in auth/svn.simple were not generated
- strangely I was asked if I want to store the hostkey certificate which
worked seemlessly
- when using a ‘svn update’ or ‘svn checkout’ the expected behaviour was
seen (prompt for saving or save automatically)
Usually this is not detected as one of the first calls are update or checkout
commands, but I used here some scripting using ‘svn log’ and was wondering why
my password was never updated, no matter where I changed the
save-plaintext-passwords settings (/etc/subversion/servers or
~/.subversion/servers, global section or specific local server sections).
I assume this is a bug or at least a strange feature. Normally I would expect
that the same authentication procedure is used for all the remote svn commands
which require authentication against the server.
Please let me know if you need some traces or configuration settings…
BTW: Subversion server was running on a Windows server machine, access via
WebDAV / https
Best regards,
Gunther
