SVN for Emacs: How do you set the author name and save the password?

I can not find this on google anywhere. I'm trying to switch to emacs from eclipse, but for my life I can’t figure out how to set the author name svn so that it doesn’t default the name of the author or save the password, so I don’t need to enter it at any time. I am Ubuntu 8.10 if that matters.

Any insight would be great. Thanks.

Which interface are you using? I prefer psvn which says the following:

Q3: How to enter username and password?

A3: In the svn-status buffer, press "s", switch to svn-process buffer and press enter. You will be prompted for a username and password.

As far as I know, psvn does not provide a way to save your password. Anyway, it would be awkward to keep your password, for example. in your totems. It is recommended that you use SVN over SSH because the Subversion client from the command line (the one that uses psvn) can also remember HTTPS passwords. In this case, you may need to create an SSH key pair that allows you to enter a password each time. write about it in the Subversion FAQ , how can you do this.
