Info needed regarding issue 2512

issue #2512, Explicit prompting about storing passwords.

Solution 1:
a) put a prompt in the
   subversion/libsvn_subr/simple_providers.c:simple_save_creds_helper()
   just before caching the password.
b) introduce the switch --auth-cache (Opposite of current --no-auth-cache
switch) so that automated programs can avoid this prompt.

Solution 2:
a) put a prompt in the
   subversion/libsvn_subr/prompt.c:svn_cmdline_auth_simple_prompt()
The problem with the solution 2 it ignores the case of --password(it gets
cached always).

Which solution you would recommend?
I prefer Solution 1 as it is cleaner though I might have to fix across the
testsuite to pass --auth-cache switch.

Want to know your thoughts on the same.

With regards
