Comment 35 for bug 473139

I am seeing this as "Password for '(null)' GNOME keyring".
I have no idea what is a keyring in general, and what is the '(null)' keyring in particular.
I typed in my sudo password, and it worked, but svn must not require sudo password!

Expected: I expected svn to just work
Actually: "svn update" requires my administrator's password. The prompt to enter this password does not explain anything.

[Yes, I believe the duplicate status is wrong]

$ svn update
Password for '(null)' GNOME keyring:
svn: OPTIONS of 'https://svn.---.com/---/trunk': authorization failed: Could not authenticate to server: rejected Basic challenge (https://svn.---.com)
$ uname -a
