Sorry, most of the projects I have been involved with don't ask for one.
Here it is:
Change the default behavior of the client to not cache authentication
information. This can be enabled by passing --auth-cache

Okay, I read the docs incorrectly. No, this shouldn't be changed. Of
course, I find this rather confusing. Basically, you are saying that it
is possible to pass --auth-cache on the command line, and still not have
their password cached, based on what store-password is set to. Why are
there two different options for how this works? IMHO, the store-password
setting should just be toggling whether the client defaults the
--auth-cache option.
