Why do I get "svn: authentication cancelled" error?
I seem to be able to svn from the command line just fine, but within PyCharm, I get the error "svn: authentication cancelled" for any SVN action.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

+1 on this! I can't figure it out! I just formatted my box and now I get this error as well. Bump!
what are you trying to do when you encounter this?
Anything to do with svn. How do you change the authentication for svn? I would think if it failed it would give me a popup and let me try and change my password. By anything I mean update, checkin, browse repo, etc.
You can try changing some SVN settings in the following dialog:
Settings (Ctrl+Alt+S), navigate to Version Control entry listed under "Project Settings', expand VCs->Subversion and on that pane you should see options for configuring or clearing auth details.
Clearing svn creds didn't work for me but eventually a helpful message in the top right appeared saying I needed to update my svn creds. Clicking that and updating fixed everything.
I resolved this problem by unchecking the "Use system default Subversion configuration directory" option, and manually specifying my subversion directory (in my case, /home/garyd/.subversion)
