Ahh, Yes. I see and agree - this example would clutter up the cred db,
but I believe the original author was just using the two URLs to the
same server for illustration purposes tto show that there is a
difference in operation. I don't picture individual users accessing
the same server by different protocol means.

You bring up a point & question that is beyond the scope of this
thread - would every protocol to the same resource generate additional
entries to the db? ie http, https, svn, svn+ssh, file, future
protocols? Additionally, what about hostname vs fqdn? ie would
http://oursvnserver/ vs http://oursvnserver.ourcompany.com/ generate
multiple entries?
