Well, if i leave out other parameters it does show the keyring message
again even if i provide the login credentials.

Title:
  gnome-keyring demands unspecified password, breaking svn commits

Status in GNOME keyring services:
  Unknown
Status in “subversion” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-keyring

  First of all, i'm ASSUMING that this problem is caused by gnome-
  keyring - it might not be.

  Ubuntu 9.10, updated from 9.04 (updated from 8.10, updated from...)

  When i try to commit to a SVN repository (of which i have many) i am
  prompted by gnome keyring for "a" password. i have no clue which one
  he wants, and he doesn't accept my gpg key password, nor my password
  on the remote svn site (sourceforge).

  e.g.

  stephan at jareth:~/cvs/s11n.net/trunk/src/io$ svn ci -m "fixed a compile error for gcc 4.4.1, though the error defies the API described in the man pages :/" strtool.cpp
  Password for 'login' GNOME keyring: 
  svn: Commit failed (details follow):
  svn: MKACTIVITY of '/svnroot/s11n/!svn/act/8cb1a339-cffc-4bb0-821a-9e809439c203': authorization failed: Could not authenticate to server: rejected Basic challenge (https://s11n.svn.sourceforge.net)

  Same thing happens on Google Code repositories:

  stephan at jareth:~/cvs/v8-juice/trunk$ svn ci -m "pulled in latest edge branch changes"
  Password for 'login' GNOME keyring: 
  svn: Commit failed (details follow):
  svn: OPTIONS of 'https://v8-juice.googlecode.com/svn/trunk': authorization failed: Could not authenticate to server: rejected Basic challenge (https://v8-juice.googlecode.com)

  (that time i tried my "login" password, but no change)

  
  i can work around the problem by using kdesvn to make the commit, but it appears to be impossible for me to commit via svn command line any more.

  This particular copy of this particular source tree is 5+ years old,
  and haven't had this problem until i updated to Ubuntu 9.10.
