Let's accumulate more information and figure out the right answer. The set
of information might be quite varied. For example, with Basic auth, there is
a realm that you're authenticating with. It is quite reasonable to assume
that a provider will key the credentials off the realm.

So we've got the UUID, maybe the Basic (and Digest?) realm, and who knows
what else.

 Oh, duh, right. Sure, the iteration baton would still have all that
 state.

Right. Note that it would be the provider-specific iteration baton, rather
than libsvn_auth's iterstate. (that is: you pass to provider-first_cred)
