[PATCH] Change Default Client Credentials Caching

From: Thorsten Haude <linux_at_thorstenhau.de>

Hi,

we have a problem with Client Credentials Caching, and we want to
patch Subversion to default to off here (which should be default).

I browsed the source a bit and think I have to change this in three
places (1.2.0):

Question:
1a) Is this sufficient to switch off the default caching of client
    credentials?
1b) Is there a better way?
 2) In case we decide to disallow client credentials caching entirely:
    What would be the best way to do this?

Thanks in advance for your help, and thank you very much for a great
tool!

Thorsten
