title: svn authentication from cron job (osx 10.7)
body: <p>I setup a crontab entry to pull code from an svn repo - I've done this before, so not sure what I missed this time.  It's on OSX 10.7 (Lion).</p>
  
  <p>If the repo is public, it works without problem.</p>
  
  <p>If the repo is private (i.e. requires user/pass), the authetication fails, even though my credentials are cached since normally I can do this at the command line without a user/pass prompt.</p>
  
  <p>The email generated by cron tells me I'm running the same shell, am the same user, the home folder is correct, etc.  But svn fails to export the file; I can see in the error cron emails me that it asks for a password, doesn't get it, asks then for user, doesn't get it, and finally fails with the message:</p>
  
  <p>authorization failed: Could not authenticate to server: rejected Basic challenge 
  (I've omitted the specific URLs)</p>
  
  <p>I have tried the --non-interactive and --config-dir options with no luck, though I've never had to do this before.</p>
  
  <p>Ideas?</p>
  
  <p>thanks, thomas blom in austin, tx</p>
