In pysvn_setenv.cpp, the number of retries for the login
provider is set to
1,000,000 for the >=1.4 case and to 3 for the other
case.

I was implementing a batch-daemon which supplied a
non-existant username all the
time, resulting in a lock-up of the python-thread running
pysvn.checkout() (and
rather heavy load on the Apache server .

Is this intentional? I could implement a retry counter in
the callback, but it
would be hard to know when to reset the counter between SVN
backend requests.

It is intentional so that the retry policy is implemented
in
python code and not the extension.

For a GUI I see no reason to have a limit. The interactive
user
can try as often as they like.

In your batch case on the second attempt you can fail the
get_login call as you suggested.
