Have you tried it yet?

User credentials are cached by the Subversion libraries (this applies
to the command-line SVN client and TSVN alike) in
%APPDATA%\Subversion\Auth. Note that %APPDATA% is an environment
variable pointing to a "special folder" and expands to (by default)
c:\documents and settings\USERNAME\Application Data. So, each user
already has their credentials stored individually - if I log into your
desktop using my own ID, I'll get my own Subversion credentials that
have been cached, not yours.

If all users log into the workstation with the same ID, that's another
issue altogether, and it's a gaping hole in your network/desktop
security policy.

As noted above, it's in %APPDATA%\Subversion\Auth . But before you go
messing with login.bat, test it out - I think you'll find that you
don't have to do anything at all.
