Finished. I'm testing my patch now.

My test case is to run 'svn ls URL1 URL2' on a read-protected
repository. At the moment, svn will prompt you twice, because it's
two seperate calls to svn_client_ls(). With my patch, the second
prompt doesn't happen anymore. The credentials are being cached in
the auth_baton between calls to client functions.

I'll commit as soon as I'm convinced I didn't break anything, probably
late tonight. :-)
