- Subversion clients work with
.svndirectories - don't remove them. - Mind the version of the client (currently, 1.5, 1.6).

RapidSVN, Gforge & passwords
Problem: RapidSVN doesn't directly support svn over ssh and so doesn't remember ssh passwords. And gforge.ucd.ie appares not to support passwordless authentication with publickey. There was a bug in the cron job that updated the keys.
Solution: ssh gforge.ucd.ie
chmod 700 .ssh
And add your key (.ssh/id_rsa.pub) to http://gforge.ucd.ie/
(and wait for cron job to add it, or do it manually)
Solution: Use sshpass to remember password.
Note: this method involves having your gforge password in plain text, and so is a potential security risk - it should be different to other passwords etc.
Install sshpass >=1.05 (note ubuntu 11.10 usese version 1.04 which just hangs - so install from sources or Ubuntu 12.4)
edit ~/.subversion/config, in [tunnels] section add the line:
gforge = sshpass -f{path to file holding password} ssh -o PubkeyAuthentication=no -o ControlMaster=no
Then check out with:
svn checkout svn+gforge://<user>@gforge.ucd.ie/var/lib/gforge/chroot/scmrepos/svn/fupermod/trunk fupermod
(where previously it was: svn checkout svn+ssh)
To change an existing working copy
svn switch --relocate svn+ssh://<user>@gforge.ucd.ie/<old url> svn+gforge://<user>@gforge.ucd.ie/<new url>
