Auth problems

Hi

I have been playing with the auth stuff while preparing r7082 and
there are a few oddities.

1. If I set "store-password = no" in ~/.subversion.config and then
    attempt to checkout I get prompted to enter my password three
    times (or only twice if I checkout revision 0). I expected the
    credentials to get cached in memory even when I ask for them not
    to be cached on disk.

2. If I allow credentials to be stored on disk then I only get
    prompted once, but that's because the client reads the credentials
    from the disk instead. Subsequent checkouts don't prompt, but they
    do read from the disk multiple times. Again I expected the
    credentials to get cached in memory.

3. If I use "--username name", to handle a server name that is
    different from the local username, not only is the auth file read
    repeatedly, but it is written repeatedly as well. This happens
    even when the cached username matches the one supplied on the
    command line.

The auth stuff has so many layers it's a bit tricky to determine where
the fault lies. Are these known problems?
