Very good ... I'm just too lazy for that, I think :-)

Well, if there's some developer for it ...
A short look shows that a
struct svn_ra_callbacks2_t
is passed to the RA layer on svn_ra_open2(), which has a auth_baton ...
this is filled by
svn_cmdline_setup_auth_baton(),
and part of this logic is already in FSVS in
cb__init().
Now, somebody?
If someone would like to do it, I'd hope for a short overview for discussion
on dev@.
Regards,
Phil
