In the next release of TSVN, the auth credentials are not saved in
cleartext to disk anymore (for Win2k and later) but are stored encrypted
in the registry. So that shouldn't be a big problem anymore.
For kerberos support, you have to ask on the subversion mailing list, or
better on the neon mailing list. Because that's the job of the neon library.
