bzr-svn prompts for password when subversion password store uses gnome-keyring

[David Coles]

I'm currently using a Subversion repository with SSL client certificates with a passphrase. By default Subversion stores the passphase for the certificate in gnome-keyring which does not appear to be visible to Bazaar. Thus you will be prompted for the passphrase even though it is cached in Subversion.

Workaround is to set [auth] password-stores to an empty string in ~/.subvesion/config, but this means the passphase is stored unencrypted on disk.

This is an issue in bzr-gtk, which provides the integration with GNOME
keyring in Bazaar.
