The problem is that by deleting the auth folder, instead of the files in it,
you have now stumbled upon a Subversion bug in JavaHL, where it will not
recreate the proper structure. So now it is not able to cache these
values. If you have access to the SVN command line, just run a command and
it will create the structure. Then you should be back to normal.
