git svn clone –password pass gives “Unknown option: password”

git svn uses SVN commands directly and thus the internally saved password of SVN.

Run the command:

svn checkout --username user --password pass svn://server/repo

and let SVN remember your password.

If this does not work remove the saved SVN authentications:

$HOME/.subversion/auth/svn.simple/*

Then git svn clone will prompt you for the password.
