Actually, upon rereading your change, I retract my position here.
This stuff isn't keyed on the application *at all*, it's only the
username and realm string. So, if I access an https repository
that requires authn with some hypothetical GNOME-integrated web
browser, that browser will store the password in the keychain.
Later, when I access with hypothetical GNOME Subversion tool, it
doesn't prompt at all, it uses what the browser stored.

So, all I have to say now is:

- I hope that realmstring includes not just the repository realm
  but also the URL :)

- Subversion > svn

Thanks.
