The credentials are not cached by svnClientAdapter. I do not think
the Subversion API layer does either, but there might be cases where
it already has a connection open or something.

Couldn't you just change your code so that you are constructing a new
ISVNClientAdapter? That would give you a different JNI object for
each instance. If Subversion does have any kind of in memory cache,
that would deal with it as it would be per object.
