I was (and still am) confused by svn_ra_local__open which allocates
and stores the credentials in the session baton, I guess that's a red
herring. svn_auth_first_credentials gets a pool argument, and uses it
to allocate the credentials stored in the auth baton. Should
svn_auth_first_credentials be using the auth baton pool? I'm also
wondering why it's necessary for svn_ra_local__open to cache the
credentials.
