What would that be good for? You don't tell the user why you're asking
for a password either. And too much information isn't good. I'd say that
99% of all users don't know what "error getting UID" means, and the
rest doesn't even care. Users want their programs to run, nothing more
and nothing less.

No one said you can't put that in apr too. But no matter if apr provides a
detailed error message or not, subversion really shouldn't error out.
