Subversion sometimes needlessly asks for confirmation to store already stored plaintext passwords

Subversion asks for confirmation to store plaintext passwords which have been
already stored when the '--username ${USERNAME}' option is used.

(Stylesen said on #svn-dev that he will be working on a patch.)

$ svn ls -v https://svn.collab.net/repos/svn-org-no-anon --username arfrever

ATTENTION! Your password for authentication realm:

   <https://svn.collab.net:443> Subversion Committers

can only be stored to disk unencrypted! You are advised to configure
your system so that Subversion can store passwords encrypted, if
possible. See the documentation for details.

You can avoid future appearances of this warning by setting the value
of the 'store-plaintext-passwords' option to either 'yes' or 'no' in
'/home/Arfrever/.subversion/servers'.

Store password unencrypted (yes/no)? yes
