I have the following authentication failure while svn rebase and
svn dcommit works fine without authentication failures.

$ git svn branch v7_3
Copying https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx at r27519
to https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/v7_3...
Can't create session: Unable to connect to a repository at URL
'https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx': No more
credentials or we tried too many times.
Authentication failed at
C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64/libexec/git-core\git-svn line 1200.

I can workaround the issue to add auth configuration to
SVN::Client->new().

Missing sign-off (see Documentation/SubmittingPatches).
Not my rule, but it's unfortunately required for this project.

Also, the Subject: should be in the imperative mood,
Perhaps something like:

Subject: [PATCH] git svn: fix authentication with 'branch'

I am less picky about the message body.

Since we're not using it, here, you can avoid setting a variable
for $callbacks more explicitly:

	my ($config, $baton, undef) = Git::SVN::Ra::prepare_config_once();

Anyways, this looks like a good change.  I will accept a v2
with your sign-off and changes noted above.  Thank you.
