Password-based authentication is where the SSH client (used by SVN)
prompts you for a password, instead of using your keypair.

The only other hitch is that because they changed the alioth SSH host
key as well, you will probably see messages like this:

IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOMEONE IS DOING SOMETHING NASTY!
Someone could be eavesdropping on you right now (man-in-the-middle attack)!
It is also possible that the RSA host key has just been changed.
The fingerprint for the RSA key sent by the remote host is
99:11:ed:30:03:41:ff:9f:f3:74:bd:7d:e1:8f:04:44.

You can remove the offending key (listed later in the error message),
then it will let you log in by typing your Alioth password.

Note that this means I will have to manually sync the repository that
feeds Trac, for now.
