I'd like to put a big vote up for "--no-config-dir" When verifying a new
user's account against a common repository, I *do not want* Subversion to
check against or touch my existing $HOME/.subversion, or anyone else's. It
would be particularly useful for the Nagios "check_svn" utility, where
using saved configurations would conflict with the command line operations
and potentially provide the "nagios" user..... inappropriate access to the
tested repository on an ongoing basis.
