Question: I'm trying to checkout a repository via command line (the 'svn co' command), using the svn+ssh protocol. I need to checkout as a different user than what I currently am. The command `svn co svn+ssh://username@server/repo/` would make sense, however when it prompts for a password, it never accepts it.

How do I checkout a repository over svn+ssh with a different user?

Edit to clarify a concern that this is off topic:
I'm trying to create a script to update a website to the current version. This is where the script fails.

Answer: 
Well, here is the solution. 

The subversion server asks for a password multiple times. That seems silly to me, but that's SVN.
Try this:

```
svn checkout svn+ssh://your.remote-server.com/home/svn/test

```
