My patch won't break this. But for those cases were anonymous
login isn't possible and the user doesn't give the --username flag
on win98, subversion errors out instead of just asking for
a username (like on every other system).
Even if (like on every other system) subversion is able to
get the UID (login name of the user) it will behave as always.
My patch is _only_ for the case where it's not possible
to obtain the UID.

pass --username is a wonderful option. But not all clients implement
that. You're talking here about the command line client but there
are other clients too.
Please have a look at my patch. It's only a few lines long and
you'll understand better what I'm trying to do here.
