If you have a subversion checkout on a production system (as the OP
said), then I would strongly advise making sure the subversion config
file has:

[auth]
store-auth-creds = no

otherwise you (or someone else) is bound to forget the --no-auth-cache
option someday. We use an account with read-only access to do the
initial checkout with store-auth-creds turned on, then disable it for
all further access.

There is a slight problem with this scheme if you forget to supply the
username as a command line argument. When you do a commit it will prompt
for an alternative username/password. Unforunately (at least for https:
protocol) it then fails to commit so you have to rerun the command with
the missing arguments.
