How to change users in TortoiseSVN

Question

I was setting up another user to use our SVN repository. He didn't have a username/passowrd, so I logged in with my credentials. We now have a username/password for him.

How do I get TortoiseSVN to let me enter the new username/password?

Answer 1

In TortiseSVN settings (found via the right-click menu), open the Saved Data tab, and clear out the Authentication Data. The side effect is that it clears out all authentication data, and you will have to re-enter your own username/password.

Answer 2

Here is how to do this. There are several ways to do it - i.e. through settings or by deleting cache.

Deleting cache is the most versatile method. First, locate it:

On XP, it was located here:
C:\Documents and Settings\%USER%\Application Data\Subversion\auth\svn.simple\

On Vista, it was located here:
C:\Users\%USER%\AppData\Roaming\Subversion\auth\svn.simple\

Then look in those files with notepad, and delete the one with your credentials.
