I am using git-svn to develop code that is hosted on a SVN+SSH repository.

I am using git-svn to develop code that is hosted on a SVN+SSH repository. I do not have to input my ssh password on the server every time I dcommit/update/rebase, so I assume it is cached somewhere.

Where are my credentials saved? Inside the .git directory, or globally in some dot-file in my home directory?

I ask because my git repository is public-readable on my home directory (we have a homes-are-readable policy in our laboratory), and I am afraid that this might leak my ssh credentials to all the lab.

Thanks.

    As noted in Does Git-Svn Store Svn Passwords?, they are stored in ~/.subversion, so as long as your home directory itself is not public readable you shouldn’t have a problem (though as I’ve just read your last line a bit more thoroughly, you may have a problem).
