I don't know how one could add OpenID support to SVN. But OAuth would be a natural. An 'svn authorize" command would pop up a web browser where the user would log into the SVN server site (the OAuth SP) using OpenID or any other credential, and then SVN could capture the OAuth token and use that programmatically from then on. <br>
<br>Chris, what can we do to better "package" OpenID and OAuth as a combined solution for these scenarios?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Well, for one thing, document how that kind of flow might actually be implemented!</div>

</div>It is also interesting that they ask for OAuth support in SVN, but<br>
what they actually need is OpenID support, isn't it?<br>
