I wanted to checkout some code from Google Code and was stuck behind ‘the beloved’ HTTP proxy server. Here’s how to solve this problem:
Go to your svn configuration folder and edit the servers file. If you are on Linux, the config folder is “~/.subversion” and if you are on a Windows system, the folder is “%APPDATA%/Subversion”. Open the servers file in any text editor and edit the values for http-proxy-host, *-port, *-username and *-password. Also uncomment the “[global]” group label.
That should do it. If you make some error, just delete the servers file and run any svn command. The default file will be created.
Get Subversion: http://subversion.tigris.org
