Subversion ignoring “--password” and “--username” options

Question

When I try to do any svn command and supply the --username and/or --password options, it prompts me for my password anyways, and always will attemp

Answer 1

The prompt you're getting doesn't look like Subversion asking you for a password, it looks like ssh asking for a password. So my guess is that you have checked out an svn+ssh:// checkout, not an svn:// or http:// or https:// checkout.

IIRC all the options you're trying only work for the svn/http/https checkouts. Can you run svn info to confirm what kind of repository you are using ?

If you are using ssh, you should set up key-based authentication so that your scripts will work without prompting for a password.
