The file being recreated is normal. You would not be challenged until you
try to do something. Also, if a repository allows anonymous access it
just doesn't challenge you. The repository can never send you
credentials, so nothing would ever be cached.

Are you sure there is not an alternate URL you are supposed to use if you
update the repository. For example, Subversion has an anonymous-only
repository at:

http://svn.collab/net/repos/svn

You cannot commit to this URL even if you are a committer and provide a
username and password on the command line. If you want to commit, you
have to use this URL:

https://svn.collab/net/repos/svn
