Subversion authentication is Server-Pull, and not Client-Push. So, if
the repository does not ask for authentication, nothing is sent by the
client, and the server has no authentication information to put in
svn:author.

The fact that file uses the network ID is because that's the way the
file protocol was built.

Hope that helps,
