Yeah, that's how it was always supposed to work. If the client never
receives an auth challenge, then it never tries to fetch *or* store
creds. When you pass --username or --password on the commandline,
it's simply readying default credentials in case a challenge happens.

I'd argue that the old behavior was a bug. If you want to erase
cached credentials, just delete them out of ~/.subversion/auth/.
