Hi, can you change the debug line in libsvn_ra_dav/session.c from:

  ne_debug_init(stderr, NE_DBG_HTTP|NE_DBG_HTTPBODY);
to:
  ne_debug_init(stderr, NE_DBG_HTTP|NE_DBG_HTTPBODY|NE_DBG_HTTPPLAIN);

and post the debug log of a session using a non-sensitive long password?

I can't reproduce any problems using long passwords over basic auth with
neon here - bear in mind that 'x'es in the neon debug output includes
the "Basic " string and the base64 encoded text includes the username
and a colon.

Regards,

joe
