Re: svnserve + SASL: Only works with plaintext 'userPassword', so what's the point?

Perhaps I'm wrong, but I was under the impression that the 1.6.x version of
'svnserve' natively supports CRAM-MD5; meaning you *don't* need to set
'use-sasl = true' to get this functionality. So my original question stands as
to what SASL is buying us when it still requires plain-text passwords to be
stored on the server?
