Subversion doesn't store the active user in the working copy. Subversion
uses the user credentials cached in $HOME/.subversion for the specific
repository. (Credentials are not bound to a working copy).
And as far as I can tell the -u argument is only used by 'svn status'.
The subversion argument to specify an explicit user is --username; but as
you most likely don't share a home directory with the other user, this is
not necessary.
