Now when I tried to connect to my server from my macbook I just won't
accept the password for my key.
I tried generating and using different keys. I used one without
password, one with a simple password 'test'.
And still every time again the ssh server is complaining : "bad
passphrase given, try again..." .
I'm afraid that's impossible, the server doesn't know anything about
passphrases - the client uses the passphrase to decrypt the encrypted
private key; neither the passphrase nor the private key (encrypted or
not) is ever sent to the server. You could also verify this by e.g.:
$ strings /usr/sbin/sshd | grep passphrase
ssh_read_passphrase
$ strings /usr/bin/ssh | grep passphrase
ssh_read_passphrase
Enter passphrase for RSA key '%.100s':
no passphrase given, try next key
bad passphrase given, try again...
Bad passphrase.
Enter passphrase for key '%.100s':

I'm 100% sure it isn't my macbook because I use a ssh key pair to logon
my remote subversion
server also using a password for the keys.
One possibility is that you have some ssh command causing the message in
your $HOME/.profile on the server or something like that. Or of course
that you use a *different* keys for the subversion server
(i.e. different "identity file" - see the -i option in ssh(1) and the
IdentityFile keyword in ssh_config(5) - and remember to check your
~/.ssh/config).
