I explained in a previous post that Subversion should be caching the
username associated with a repository. If that doesn't work, we should
fix the credentials caching, not introduce dependencies on environment vars.
Consider this a -1 until someone shows that either a) credentials
caching or b) teaching svn to always accept --username, aren't
sufficient for solving this particular contrived problem.
(I still don't understand the usefulness of sharing working copies,
though...)
