Re: non-interactive user authentication

Okay. Hmmm...

Before I revert the change, let's all decide here what the behavior of
the old options should be.

If you do

   $ svn --username=foo --password=bar

and the values are wrong (i.e., they do not successfully
authenticate), should Subversion prompt, or should it just fail right
away?

IMHO the latter, but this is largely a matter of behaving the way most
other programs do, so I'd like to hear from others who may have more
experience with authenticating clients.

For the record, I am ready & willing (indeed, happy) to revert the
"--non-interactive" option code if we decide on the latter.
