I am simply unable to make Hudson to check out as anyone else but 'anonymous'
SVN user.

If I make my repo not readable for anonymous, I get an error on the build
configuration page suggesting that I enter alternate credentials. I do, it is
verified, accepted and allegedly saved. Then I proceed to build and checkout
fails again.

In our environment, we allow anonymous read access but control commit access
especially to the tags folder. I realized that when you enter URL, Hudson
automatically checks if Hudson can connect to it. If access requires
authentication, it will ask you the necessary credential. If you already have a
working credential but would like to change it for other reasons, you can
specify different credential. However, this doesn't work. Everytime when I tries
to specify different credential to a working workspace (can connect to it),
Hudson just throws the following error (No authentication was attemped.
FAILED: svn: Operation cancelled). Or simply put, it is not saved new credential.

To us, this is a serious bug since it makes the feature tag after build
completely useless.

I would recommend we do the following
1. Allow to save credential even Hudson can connect to it.
2. Allow to specify the username/password in tag after a successful build job
configuration.
3. Allow to enter username/password and commit message with tag this build feature.

There is a related issue (#2053) submitted a year ago. Has anyone been assigned
to work on it?

I am running Hudson 1.323 on Linux 4 Redhat Ent - Tomcat 6.0.18 - JDK 1.6_12

Please help to resolve the issue.
