svn + ssh - A good tutorial for getting rid of those pesky prompts

Recently for Uni, I've been working with a SVN that only works with ssh login (the darned thing will ONLY accept a svn+ssh path), which inevitably leads to password prompts all over the show, every single time you do even the smallest of procedures with svn.

Having done this a few times over the past few days, I became increasingly frustrated with this status quo. Researching this a bit, I read quite a few tutorials which described ways to get around this, but the one I liked most is:

Thanks to this, I now have a really usable setup for this now.
