store-password = no --> server certificates are not stored any more
Hi!
If I set store-password = no in auth section in config file, server
sertificates are not stored anymore to the .subversion/auth dir.
Is this intentional?
Gnu/Linux, svn --version
svn, version 0.32.1 (r7497)
compiled Nov 4 2003, 16:03:52
BR, Jani

I'm totally cool with 'store-password' only affecting the caching of
'svn.simple' credentials on disk, and not other sorts of credentials.
I just don't have time to think about it right now. Maybe someone can
submit a patch?

When originally introduced the store-password option controlled
whether the password was stored in the working copy, but it did not
affect the username which was always stored (the --no-auth-cache flag
would override store-password and cause neither password or username
to be stored in the working copy.) At some point the auth storage
stuff got reworked and the behaviour of store-password changed, it
started to affect both username and password. I didn't like this
change but the auth stuff has so many layers, not to mention an
interface I dislike, that I never got round to doing anything about
it.
I would like to be able to store usernames, certificates, etc. without
storing passwords.

I don't know where I have been when this is decided, but IMHO, this
is not a good thing to do (tm).
Reason:
I would have very well environment where I like authenticate my svn up
data by using ssl + server certificate, but I don't want store my
credentials (password) on the disk.
So if this will proceed like planned, above setup is not possible, right?
Or am I supposed to use --no-auth-cache?

Yes. We need to rename that variable to "store-credentials". It
activates/deactivates disk caching of *all* credentials (passwords,
server certs, etc.).
Any volunteers? :-)
