SVN and htp/https cookies?

To save me from doing the test myself does anyone know if the svn unix
client will handle http/https cookies in a browser-ish way? In other words
can I give the initial https response a cookie and hav it returned with the
subsequent requests from the instance of the client?

Do to the stateless nature of http/https and the latency in network based
authentication mechanisms it is necessary to hav authentication state cached
somewhere. Tying cached state to user sessions is commonly done with
cookies.

I hope this isn't answered in a FAQ, although I wouldn't be surprised if it
was.

Thanks,
steve
