Another good potential workaround.

FYI and IIRC, Subversion (as of 1.6 at least) generally stores the
credentials on disk in plain text. I don't remember if there are any
strong encryption options, but I don't think so; this was a frequent
complaint on the svn-user list when I was subscribed there.

Still might be better than storing credentials in revision control, but
probably not really really secure either.
