You're missing the point. Use svn-agent for all auth info, regardless
whether you are doing basic auth or you need a pass for your cert.

Actually, I think it becomes easier... No svn-agent == no caching.
And a running svn-agent == caching. Now svn-agent could have config
options like expiry of cache etc, but hey... ;) :)
