Re: storing user passwords in non-cleartext form in password-db file

From: W J <wjlost_at_yahoo.com>

I think the password-db is on the server side, and not
part of the client caching mechanism.

It is used for authentication when using the basic SVN
protocol (not the svn+ssh). I would like this password
file to have obscured user passwords, so that I could
avoid typing all my user's passwords in cleartext
(it's a privacy issue, not a security issue).
