[CMake] Mac hangs on ctest svn update

[David Cole]

If you cache the svn creds on a Mac over an ssh connection, (instead of in
the Mac GUI) then they are stored as on Linux, in a file under the
~/.subversion directory. And then you will not be prompted for future
connections as the same user to the same repository...

(If you already have cached creds on the Mac, you may have to delete those
first and then try from the ssh connection...)

HTH,
David
