[git-svn] always prompted for passphrase with subversion 1.6

Hi everyone. I am using git-svn with the Subversion 1.6 client compiled with GNOME Keyring support. This neat features allows a SSL client certificate password to be cached inside GNOME Keyring instead of being prompted to enter it every time. However the git-svn script doesn't appear to know about this and always prompts for a password.

Obviously there's some tweak required in the _auth_providers() subroutine but I don't know enough about the Subversion Perl client to figure out a fix.

Has anyone else run in to this problem? I did a quick search on the list but didn't find anything relevant.

Regards,
Tim.
