For once, not blogging wasn't my fault

Subversion Logins Utility - selectively remove authentication data
Subversion keeps your saved authentication data in a folder on your local workstation. On my Windows Vista laptop, this folder is C:\Users\jcogley\AppData\Roaming\Subversion\auth\svn.simple. In this folder, you will find some cryptically named files - one for each Subversion repository authentication information that you have saved. Using TortoiseSVN you have the option to "Clear Authentication Data" which will clear all saved authentication data. In most scenarios, that is probably fine - but if you work frequently onsite with customers this can be a pain since the only way to clear the auth data for a sensitive repository is to clear the auth data for everything or remember the directory to go digging around in to find the right file to delete.

The new version includes role based security which allows you to slice and dice the access to various features across your organization. We also have a new feature that allows you to automatically launch Remote Desktop from a secret which is very convenient.
