Is there an command line option to auto accept a SSL certificate permanently using the SVN commandline in a way that avoids the prompt?

It depends somewhat on your version of svn. Recent (1.6+) ones have the usual --non-interactive (which you want to use to avoid prompts) and also a --trust-server-cert that may do what you want.

This solution seems to work. Unfortunately the command line certificate accept didn't solve my initial problem. Oh well, at least I know what doesn't work now. – James McMahon Jul 9 '09 at 15:19
If this still doesn't work, it may be because you can't access/create the .subversion directory in your home directory. Solution found here: chipsandtv.com/articles/svn-invalid-certificates – icc97 Apr 26 at 16:40

You should be able to download the certificate and then place it in the appropriate directory. Or you can download the CA certificate and then set the configuration option ssl-authority-files to trust that CA.

See the SSL Certificate Management section in the book.

I'm in a very strange situation here, see serverfault.com/questions/7648/…, so I want to be able to pull it off in one command. – James McMahon Jul 8 '09 at 21:07
