| 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.
~From the FAQ I assumed this would work on Windows and Linux. Should I 
update the FAQ to indicate that the workaround only works on Linux?

| 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?
1.5 is not released or stable yet is it? Also, like Alexander said, 
there is no simple installer. If my work colleagues are to use this, it 
really needs to be a simple process without building trunk version of 
svn and applying various patches etc. It's somewhat of a shame I think 
that bzr-svn is so cool and has so many great features but cannot be 
used easily by anyone at the moment....
