I encountered the same error and the work around does not work for me.

raghu@rp$ echo $SSH_AUTH_SOCK

Password for 'login' GNOME keyring:
svn: OPTIONS of 'https://example.com/svn/repo': authorization failed: Could not authenticate to server: rejected Basic challenge (https://example.com)

I tried both : entering correct password (no capslock) and just typing error.

Is this an svn bug in that it is not handling interaction with keyring properly?

Sorry for the rant but : why is such a restriction is added without me opting in? I never entered any keyring password or explicitly did anything with keyring. This is painful for even for fairly experienced users (but no experience with keyring of course), I wonder how painful it would be for average users.
