I don't think it's Subversion that's broken in this case. It's an issue of
configuration. The problem of the GUI dialog while accessing a machine via
SSH is a known complication that affects other software too. It will happen
with any software that tries to use these credential caches. I don't have a
RPi that I could experiment with but maybe I can setup something reasonably
similar to try to reproduce this...
