Client side password safety (was: storing user passwords in non-cleartext form in password-db file)

Are there plans for implementing a secure client side storage mechanism?
Something along the lines of ssh-agent would be ideal.

We would love to back our subversion apache instance with Novell's
corporate LDAP directory for authentication, but the presence of cleartext
passwords on the client prevents us from doing this.

In Max's previous post he states that using http[s]:// helps solve this
problem, but unless we use SSL/TLS with client certificates, I don't see
how.
