Why?

We want to make people aware when Subversion can only store
passwords in plaintext in their setup, regardless of the strength
of their password. Having a special case like this does not help
us achieve that goal.

Also, an "empty" password arguably means the password is
'hit the enter key', so it can still be considered a password,
albeit a ridiculously weak one. Why should we assume that all
people always want Subversion to store this password in plaintext?
