Update access to the Subversion repository is governed by [http://download.osgeo.org/grass/grass6_progman/rfc/rfc2_psc.html RFC 2: Legal aspects of code contributions]. Committers should take care to use https for access, and use their [http://www.osgeo.org/osgeo_userid OSGeo Userid] for authentication. A commit command might look something like:

{{{
  svn commit -m "Distinguish between raster and vector backends (bug #999)" main.c --username glynn
}}}

After your first commit SVN will remember your OSGeo user id and password so --username only has be used the first time.
