That's about normal and just the way svn works.  I don't know the
details, but AFAIK svn connects multiple times to the repo: Version
Checking for changes, downloading data, etc. -- every operation needs
a separate authentication.  Quite stupid, in a way.

You might want to generate a public key and add it to the
~/.ssh/authorized_keys file on the server - you won't be asked for a
password any more.

Cheers,
Albert
