(could not get mail to work from emacs, so is using my normnal email)

My problem is explained here

https://emacs.stackexchange.com/q/47396/21457

Basically when subversion uses passtype gpg-agent then emacs cannot
communicate with subversion as long as `--non-interactive` is being
used (in vc-svn-global-switches)

Switching it to `--force-interactive` worked for me.

Note I have no issues when subversion is using passtype simple (aka
plaintext password)

Problem observed in Emacs 24.5 and emacs 25.2.2 (default on Ubuntu 18.04).
