Yes, you got it right. But for the username/pw provider I suggest
a prompt function which takes two strings, returns two strings and
a boolean. The boolean would indicate if the information should
be stored or not (SVN_CONFIG_OPTION_STORE_PASSWORD).

Yes, exactly. Maybe instead of a boolean an enum type could also
be used, e.g. for YES/NO/CANCEL/YESTOALL, ...
