Hi: In our office, each of us has his own PC. Cygwin is installed on each PC. Every PC can access the shared S drive.
I have installed TortoiseSVN on my own PC. I am thinking doing a short-cut: no need to install TortoiseSVN on everybody's PC. I just copied my C:/Program Files/TortoiseSVN to the S drive. Now everybody in Cygwin on his PC can have 'svn' command(svn is an alias now to avoid typing the long path). For example, "svn --version" works on everybody's Cygwin. The problem is authentication. On their PC Window Explorer, mouse right click won't show those SVN options in the menu. On their Cygwin, I typed this command: svn ls username my_username --password my_secret_pswd URL prompting me to enter password for the user 'my_username', I did and it hangs there forever. I checked his PC %AppData%/Roaming/Subversion/auth/svn.simple. The directory has been created on his own drive. But it is always empty. I even cleaned my own svn.simple directory, re-run TortoiseSVN gui again, this time I entered his username and password so that a credential file was created in my svn.simple/. Then I moved this file(containing his credentials) to his own empty svn.simple/, then on his Cygwin I tried "svn ls URL". It still didn't work. Is that possible for me to set up such a thing so that everybody can use the shared svn on the S drive, no need to install his own? Thank you.
