Set username for repository when using SVK?

Question

I want to mirror a Subversion repository to a local folder using

svk mirror

But how can I specifify the username that shall be used for logging in to the repository? I already tried http://[email protected]/trunk but that's not working. The SVK help on the mirror parameter also didn't give any hint. Any idea? Thank you!

I've had the same problem a few days ago, and today I have finally found an answer (workaround). You need to connect to repository of internet using, for example, TortoiseSVN, it will ask you for proper credentials and store them along with SSL certificate. After that you can try to set mirror using SVK - it will use previously stored credentials and SSL certificate information. For me it worked just fine!

P.S. To remove stored SSL certificates you may refer [user]\AppData\Roaming\Subversion\auth\svn.ssl.server folder (Windows 7)
