Stefan,
There are more reasons for security other than just having something
saved on disk. I don't want someone walking up to my machine and doing
operations that only I can do. If I save authentication information,
then suddenly they walk up to my machine if I happen to be away and
forgot to lock it and execute operations on the repository that they
would not normally be able to do.
I don't know the internals of TSVN, but surely this is possible, because:
1. Previous versions of TSVN did not exhibit this behavior
2. If there is a method that is controlling the operations that are
performed based on a single ui event, and one of the actions that TSVN
does is to get the authentication information, then that ui handler can
pass the credentials to the other methods that need it. This is
definitely in the realm of possibilities.
