Okay, I'm sure there's something really obvious I'm missing here...
but I'm missing it.

The BBEdit 9.2 manual says that if a repository requires
authentication, you can "let Subversion cache your credentials," and
that "this will happen automatically." I've done that. I've been using
this particular repository for a few months. The svn command line app
works with it transparently. TextMate works with it transparently.
Using the "Show Working Copy Status..." command in BBEdit works just
fine.

But when I try to update the working copy, or an individual file, or
even do a diff with an individual file, I get an "authorization
failed" error in BBEdit's Subversion log:

Retrieving Revision Contents

svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/cardwest/trunk/controllers/
specials_controller.php'
svn: PROPFIND of '/cardwest/trunk/controllers/
specials_controller.php': authorization failed (https://
svn.cardinalwest.webfactional.com)

What's going on? Do I actually have to add the repository in the
preferences with my username and password, despite what the manual
seems to imply? The error message suggests it may have to do with
properties -- There are svn:ignore properties set on a few files/
directories. Surely that isn't a problem?

I've done some Googling and general searching, and can't find anything
that really seems to fix the issue.

I would file a bug report with sup...@barebones.com

Be sure to list the exact steps required to reproduce the error.
