I have had better luck with 2.2. I have gotten too used to using
the command line client, so I am still using it for commits. I
am also using SSHKeychain http://www.sshkeychain.org/ to handle
unlocking my keys in my terminal sessions. I think XCode picks
that up also. I am using a password for the key. I can get info
from subversion and do comparisons and diffs, which didn't really
work under 2.1
I tried SSHKeychain, but it made no difference for me - I still
can't authenticate (the authentication dialog comes up with all
fields empty - any ideas how I can get them filled in?). I have
ssh set up so I don't need a password ro passphrase from the
command line and every other svn client except XCode works fine.
XCode works fine for local repositories, it's just svn+ssh which
is causing the problem.
Actually it doesn't work for any SCM over SSH. CVS or SubVersion,
it doesn't matter, XCode does not authenticate. I don't use
sshkeychain since I have a secure environment: Kerberos works
perfectly on OSX, and ssh does not ask for passwords, as it must :)
Still, even with kerberized ssh, in console no problem at all (no
password, if the credentials are good), but XCode gives a bad
authentication.
Too bad. SCM must be enhanced.
I had similar problems with earlier version of XCode. I am not sure
where it gets the authentication dialog information from. Well, it
seems to parse the information from the subversion meta files, so I
don't know why it wouldn't find it if all the command line tools are
working. I agree though, the SCM isn't the most robust piece of XCode.

There are five dangerous faults which may affect a general:
recklessness, which leads to destruction; cowardice, which leads to
capture; a hasty temper, which can be provoked by insults; a delicacy
of honor which is sensitive to shame; over-solicitude for his men, which
exposes him to worry and trouble. -Sun Tzu
