Password vs. publickey login



The "narrative introduction" (http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/secure-testing/doc/narrative_introduction?view=co) says:
The best way to understand is to check out our repository from
subversion so you have the files on your computer and can follow along
at home. To do this, you need an Alioth account, and then you just
need to do the following:

 svn co svn+ssh://<alioth user name>@svn.debian.org/svn/secure-testing

This will check out our working repository after asking for your alioth password twice. This is normal and to be expected.

But the Alioth SSH page (http://wiki.debian.org/Alioth/SSH) says:

Alioth does not allow password authentication via SSH. You need to authenticate with your own SSH public/private keys. Currently only RSA keys are allowed.


Is the second link correct? If so, can I update the introduction (and update the broken link to the introduction at: http://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/data/report)?
