Problems with subversion (in gnome keyring, maybe), user=null

I found the bug here.

The following should solve the issue:

rm ~/.gnome2/keyrings/login.keyring

I run into this issue in my

  • Xubuntu 11.10 and SVN 1.6.12
  • Xubuntu 12.04 and SVN 1.6.17

every now and then (no idea what triggers the issue).

The magic that I found from the comments to the Javier González' answer is:

$ rm ~/.gnome2/keyrings/login.keyring

Posted as an answer so that I'll find this faster next time ...
