Hi Igor, this issue seems related to the platform specific auth
providers patches.   There have been bugs in the SVN bindings in
previous releases and uncertainty about how everything works.

I haven't been interested enough to follow along closely[1], but maybe
some other folks Cc:-ed can finally push this through.

Basically I'm waiting for a patch that we can be certain won't break the
majority of existing use cases (especially no triggering of segfaults
and other nastiness in released versions of SVN bindings).

      with a 10-foot pole...
