Feature Request: clients shouldn't store auth-creds

Hello.
Would you please set store-auth-creds to no and uncomment that key
please in ~.subversion/config.

I have a DMZ with Web Server on which I work with svn for the web pages
and today decided to enforce digest auth in apache.conf. But for other
users (the clients) in a corporate network it is very confusing. Since
those people normally are no admins it doesn't make sense.

And it took me hours to change every working copy and the config on all
my accounts. On the other side enabling caching would be much faster.

In my opinion, security has to be enabled by default, if the password
dialog is annoying for some user, he should decide on his own.

Anyway there should be a server side mechanism to enforce that security
policy. Imagine someones account getting hacked and he has write access
(in a software developing company) the whole database could get screwed
up.

Thoughts?

Greetings,
Robert Welz

SVN 1.0.9,
several linux clients
and a Mac repository.
