SVN+SSH, not having to do ssh-add every time? (Mac OS)

Answer 1

Add your key to the keychain by running:

ssh-add -K ~/.ssh/id_rsa

and edit your ssh config (~/.ssh/config) file to automatically load keys from the key chain to the ssh-agent (AddKeysToAgent yes option) and store passphrases in the keychain (UseKeychain yes option):

Host *
 AddKeysToAgent yes
 UseKeychain yes
