Thanks Mark. Looks like you are right in that tsvn will support this in
an upcoming release:

Well yes, but that's also true for basic auth, which is why svn caches
the credential in encrypted form. Ideally it would also cache the
certificate selection and PIN (maybe using platform-specific crypto
storage). Obviously I appreciate that the cert dialog and pin prompt are
not coming from the svn code and svn has no way of intercepting that. In
fact I don't even know what the technical challenges are, but it's
pretty much unusable from the command line client as it is. (At least,
our users will consider it to be unusable).
Cheers, jamie
