title: SVN authentication cancelled
body: <p>I get the following error , both on my linux and windows boxes, when I build try to check out SVN tags from an ant build.</p>
  
  <pre><code>  [svn] &lt;Checkout&gt; started ...
    [svn] svn: authentication cancelled
    [svn] &lt;Checkout&gt; failed 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How do I resolve this? <strong>Funny thing is I can browse the repo via Tortoise SVN by entering my  credentials.</strong> </p>
  
  <p>It cannot be a "windows-has-cached-my-SVN-credtentials" issue. Since, I have cleared my SVN "auth" directory and it happens simulatnesouly on my Linux box which is oblivious to my Windows machine.</p>
