unfortunately _i_ cannot give you a password.
It's very possible that Miller's problem is exactly the same as mine, that is, just using svn.puredata.info.
unlike CVS, svn does not use ssh as backend for encrypted transport.
That feature of SVN is called "svn+ssh" as a URL protocol component (the first part before the colon) and we could file a request to SF to have it added if it hasn't been added yet.
rather, subversion caches your password on filesystem (once you have entered it correctly), so you don't have to re-enter it again and again.
Does it cache them in cleartext, or hashed? (md5, sha1, crypt(), whatever)
