The general story is this:

ra_dav asks for username/password. Those are cached into the SVN directory.
*If* the server asks for authentication, then we provide those.

IOW, if you have not set up your server to require authentication, then you
could enter anything you want for the user/pass since nobody will ever ask
for them, nor check them against anything.
