I looked into the other providers. The Authenticatable module in the
Ruby binding provides the following methods:

add_simple_provider
add_username_provider
add_ssl_client_cert_file_provider
add_ssl_client_cert_pw_file_provider
add_ssl_server_trust_file_provider
add_simple_prompt_provider
add_username_prompt_provider
add_ssl_server_trust_prompt_provider
add_ssl_client_cert_prompt_provider
add_ssl_client_cert_pw_prompt_provider
add_platform_specific_client_providers

I thought the add_ssl_server_trust_prompt_provider() might be right for
solving my issue. However, this just lets me manipulate an
AuthCredSSLServerTrust object which I think maps to the C struct
svn_auth_cred_ssl_server_trust_t, which does not let me set something
like trust_server_cert in svn_cmdline_create_auth_baton().

So my problem is that I cannot find out how
svn_cmdline_create_auth_baton() is mapped in the Ruby binding.
