Where are the plaintext passwords stored

I always thought the passwords were stored in the .subversion/auth folder (I'm using Linux). And for plaintext passwords I expected to actually see it there, is some files, in, well, plain text. But I don't. So, just out of curiosity (I don't store passwords anyway), where are they?
