[tei-council] Fwd: password challenge from svn

[Kevin Hawkins]

I too have noticed this but hadn't looked into it.

You can create a public/private key pair based on no passphrase and 
upload your public key to SF.  How this process works in general is 
described at:

http://www.linuxproblem.org/art_9.html

and SF-specific instructions (hard to follow) are at:

https://sourceforge.net/p/forge/documentation/SSH%20Keys/

I have not tested it on SF, but I have set up such key pairs in my day job.
