Me neither. But I'd expect either there is something similar to the IE 
control (in which case there's no problem) or it must be implemented in 
that svn client itself (in which case the password prompt can be 
implemented right there).

True. IMHO the URL is not necessarily needed (but nice anyway) since the 
user supposedly knows where to find his issue tracking system anyway.

More fantasizing: If we had the URL on commit, it could even be stored 
as a revision property. But: this would actually be a server side job 
(through some hook) not the svn client's. BTW: That's what I was trying 
with the ticket number lately - didn't have time to finish my 
experiments though :-(

Later on, if that revision property was in place, TSVN could provide a 
link e.g. from that revision's log entry which opens the browser with 
the ticket URL!

I know, I'm starting to be immoderate...
