Hello,

some hosts will prompt subversion to complain:

- The certificate is not issued by a trusted authority. Use the
   fingerprint to validate the certificate manually!

This can be surpressed by calling svn with --trust-server-cert (which requires --non-interactive). There is also another thing subversion might complain about, though:

  - The certificate hostname does not match.

To my knowledge, there is no flag that makes subversion ignore this problem and continue. If this is true, as a consequence, repositories that yield such problems cannot be accessed by a non-interactive subversion client! (there are horrible workarounds which call `echo t` or `echo p` and pipe that to an interactive subversion client of course).

Maybe you can shed some light on the matter. :)

    Unless Subversion grows a feature to ignore certs with mismatched hostnames, there's nothing to document here except the nasty workarounds.  I'm deeming that out of scope for this text.
