I am trying to run a SVN command in a script, but the script is launched as a system service that has cached svn username/password credentials.

I could always just put the username/password arguments in the command:

svn info --username bob --password pass

but I'd rather not have my username/password just sitting in a text file.

I've discovered that my cached credentails (when run svn normally) end up here:

C:\Documents and Settings\bob\Application Data\Subversion\auth\svn.simple\6ef188c2163f1ccc860a690b7ad21a15

Is there any way I could copy this cached credential file to where my script exists and just call that file explicitly?
