There is also no way for bzr-svn to actually specify a password - it can
only specify a list of "password providers". It is only possible (in
1.4) to specify existing password providers - not to write providers by
yourself. On Windows, a Windows-specific password prompter/cache is used
by Subversion which does not have python bindings in 1.4 and as such can
not be used by bzr-svn. 

On Linux, all the password providers have sane Python bindings and this
allows for the workaround that is described in the FAQ.

This is definitely a bug in Subversion (or rather, incomplete Python
bindings).

Is there any reason you'd like to stick with 1.4 rather than 1.5?

Cheers,
