Need help with read-write checkouts (Win/TortoiseSVN)
Wanting to finish up the difflib issue (#2986) with my first commits, I read http://www.python.org/dev/faq/ (especially 2.2.2 and 2.3), loaded TortoiseSVN, and successfully did a read-only checkout. But when I try to do the needed read-write checkout, I get a blank plink screen and ... nothing. I tried both with 'pythondev@' and Pageant running and without both after creating a svn.python.org profile. And ideas what to do next? Is there some step missing from the faq?
In attempting to verify that my commit privileges are working (2.8.2), I noticed that in order to log in with putty, or 'register' the private key with pageant, I need a 'passphrase'. If I gave one when generating the key, I have no memory of it and cannot find such written down after extensive search. So if either of the above is the unmentioned missing step, I will need for someone to replace my current public key after I generate a new pair. Who is currently available to do so?
For once, I would like copies of helpful responses sent directly to me. I am signed up for the digest version of this list and cannot login to change that. Mailman will not (at the moment, at least) accept the password that it generated for me and that it sends in the monthly reminders.

There is such a step. SSH keys are protected using a password and needed to decrypt the key, so if you lost the password then you have lost your key.

Just reply to your email with your new public key attached. There are a couple of us that can replace your old key.

You can always email the list owners, but since I am one of them I went ahead and manually turned off digest delivery for you, Terry.

Here. I also sent it to Martin an hour or so ago.

A request to email my password again, in case it was automatically changed, also failed.

Are you sure you are using the email address under which you are subscribed?

Done, although I had to manually alter the format to be correct so let me know if it doesn't work.

Your email address is the one you are mailing from and there are no special flags on your account compared to others so I don't know what is going on.
