You are correct; the svn authentication API has no way of noticing a
cancellation event.

But is it necssary to be able to cancel immediately within an
auth-prompt?

Your svn_client_ctx *does* have a cancellation callback/ctx that
you've defined. If the user hits 'cancel' on your auth-prompt dialog
box, you can set a flag in your cancellation-ctx and return an empty
string to the auth system. When actual work is about to begin (some
svn_client_*() routine), your cancellation callback will be called,
which will exit at that point. I think... am I wrong about that?
