[Buildbot-devel] buildbot and subversion authentication

[Roch Gadsdon]

There is also a patch available that lets you specify a username and  
password in your config file as part of the Subversion step. One  
advantage to this approach is that subversion will always use these  
credentials rather than what's cached on the slave. Depends how your  
slave machine is used whether that's an issue of course...

The patch number is 1685034.
