Martin, according to Subversion FAQ <http://subversion.apache.org/faq.html#plaintext-passwords> it seems that Subversion only supports Gnome-keyring or kwallet, not with a command line utility. For security reasons from v1.6 subversion asks before storing passwords unencripted. Maybe you were previously storing passwords unencripted inadvertently? Then, this bug should be just a suggestion to Subversion upstream developers.

However, I have not been able to make Subversion work with

On a fresh Ubuntu 9.10 Server edition:
sudo apt-get install subversion gnome-keyring
eval "`gnome-keyring-daemon`"
export GNOME_KEYRING_PID
export GNOME_KEYRING_SOCKET
svn update

This wrote the unencripted password advise. Maybe I am doing something wrong. :-?
