Hi,
I have solved my problems with XCode not authenticating when using Subversion with svn+ssh and I'm posting for those other people who are suffering from the same problem. The symptom was that in XCode 2.1, an Internal error occurred when performing any svn operation, and in XCode 2.2, the authentication dialog would appear with all the fields blank. The problem turned out to be because the SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable was being set incorrectly by ssh-agent (probably due to having installed SSHKeychain in the past). Killing ssh-agent, restarting it, setting the environment variables and starting XCode from the same shell cures the problem. All I need to do now is work out how to get this to happen correctly on startup :-)

I've read XCode has CVS/Subversion capabilities, and that XCode's handling of passwords is a little buggy, since it needs ssh keychains and public/private keys copied on clients.
I use passwordless ssh, via Kerberos, so I can avoid key exchanges, but still XCode (version 2.1) has no idea on how to communicate to SSH/CVS or SSH/Subversion successfully (I always get ``authentication failed'').
Is XCode 2.2 better? Can it handle CVS/SVN? With or without passwords I don't care, what really care is the ssh tunneling. Would you suggest me to move to 2.2?
