If Subversion Plugin version > 1.17 (Such as 1.21) is installed, then when the Master Hudson node attempts to build on a slave. The Subversion configuration file will be overridden.

Will turn the following:

[user@slave01 ~]$ cat ~/.subversion/auth/svn.simple/664e77a2c4c38350260f84b0f1cdd4df
K 8
passtype
V 6
simple
K 8
password
V 12
PASSWORD_TEXT
K 15
svn:realmstring
V 42
<https://SVN_REPO_HOSTNAME:443> Code Repository
K 8
username
V 14
user
END

into:

[user@slave01 ~]$ cat ~/.subversion/auth/svn.simple/664e77a2c4c38350260f84b0f1cdd4df
K 15
svn:realmstring
V 42
<https://SVN_REPO_HOSTNAME:443> Code Repository
K 8
username
V 14
user
END

This file should not be overridden, as I need cached subversion credentials. I am executing a script "release-my-product.sh" to do a couple of things among them being creating a subversion tag:

svn mkdir https://SVN_REPO_HOSTNAME/svn/component/tags/release/component_release_2010_11_23 -m 'tagging component_release_2010_11_23'
