Assuming you've set up the SVN repositories with an Apache server and
mod_auth_sspi, you have to add this line:
SSPIOfferBasic On
to the
<Location /xxx>
block in your apache config file.

With this line you're forcing the SSPI auth module to ask for
username/password instead of using the automatic authentication with the
windows account.
