Title: Parameters for subversion command
Post by: Martin Habets on October 14, 2011, 10:32:33 pm

I failed to open a project this week. EA 8.0 just hangs, the only way to get out is to kill it.
After much debugging it turned out that the SVN authentication had been lost. In this case it will prompt for the user name and password, but such an interactive mode is not supported by EA.
Also, in my specific case SVN reverted to a default user name that was not correct for the repository used.

So I'd like a way to provide some fixed arguments to all SVN operations.
In particular having a way to pass --non-interactive and --username options would be most useful.

I see that EA 9.0 has a new timeout option here. Have not tried that yet. Even with that, the --non-interactive option would be a good improvement.

Same problem here. Also, if there are svn hooks installed to validate version comments etc, feedback or error messages are not delivered to the user, EA just freezes.
