Of course, UI apps are going to behave in a completely opposite fashion.
My current thinking about what should happen in a UI for Subversion is
that the password information is cached in memory by the UI, and
discarded upon UI closing, but also having the option to cache the
password information someplace more permanent. Preferably that wouldn't
be in the working copy data. On Win32 systems it might be wise to cache
it in a secure storage container of some sort.
So please think about that kind of thing when tweaking any of this part
of the existing code base.
Thanks,
Bill
