Subject: `vc-svn-checkin' needs "--non-interactive"
Date: Tue, 8 Nov 2011 13:57:01 +0000

When visiting a file in a Subversion working copy, if the repository
url is http and the server requires authentication for check-ins, when
you type "C-x v v" to check in (the file has local changes), Emacs
hangs (presumably svn thinks it has prompted for credentials and is
awaiting a response). To recover, it is necessary to kill the
"svn.exe" process and run "svn cleanup" on the (now locked) working
copy.

`vc-svn-checkin' should pass "--non-interactive" to the svn
executable. (Checking-in still won't work, but at least you get an
error promptly.)  As a workaround, set the variable
`vc-svn-checkin-switches' to "--non-interactive".

All svn invocations are probably potentially affected, depending on
how the server is set up. Indeed, I don't see why vc-mode shouldn't
pass "--non-interactive" to every svn invocation.
