Git-SVN Not Allowing Me to Authenticate

git authentication subversion

@DavidAlpert's advice was correct. I fixed this by simply entering my domain credentials (username, then password) 3 or 4 times in a row.

I don't know why, but it worked for me! I repeated this as an answer here since it is easy to miss in the comments.

Git 1.7.9.1 on Arch Linux:
```
git svn init -s https://app.svn.beanstalk.com/repo
Initialized empty Git repository in /path/to/repo/.git/
Authentication realm: <https://app.svn.beanstalk.com/repo:443> SVN    
Password for 'localuser':
Authentication realm: <https://app.svn.beanstalk.com/repo:443> SVN
Username: remoteuser
Password for 'remoteuser':
Authentication realm: <https://app.svn.beanstalk.com/repo:443> SVN
Username:
```
No matter how many times I enter my details, it never accepts them. I have logged in successfully with the same credentials in a web browser. I have also tried this without the -s, and with the --no-minimize-url flags. What's going on?

  Do you know if it's Basic, Digest, NTLM, or Negotiate authnetication?

  Pretty sure it's Basic.

  Did you try svn directly? Did you try accessing the server directly per http? This probably isn't related to git or even svn.

  I have the same scenario using git-svn on windows in the mingw32 shell with Git 1.8.5.5. On my Windows x64 machine I am running TortoiseSVN 1.7.5 with SVN 1.7.3 and I can connect with SVN-cached credentials through both Tortoise and SVN command line yet when I attempt to clone the same SVN url with git-svn I get the behavior described above.

  Apparently this problem went away for me after I entered my domain credentials (username, then password) 3 or 4 times in a row. Now my git-svn is working against the local svn repos just fine.
