[CMake] Mac hangs on ctest svn update

[Philip Lowman]

There are --username and --password flags to svn, but I wouldn't recommend
using them since on most Linux machines this info could be gathered via
/proc/<pid>/cmdline.

Generally what we do is authenticate once with svn checkout or svn update as
the user doing the nightly build and rely on subversion's authentication
caching to make the nightly update work.  This often results in passwords
being stored in ~/.subversion/auth in the clear on Linux, but c'est la vie
for the moment.

Not sure on the Mac, according to the svn documentation the system Keychain
is used, whatever that is.
