How do I enable storing of plaintext passwords?
I'm doing some testing and want to test with plaintext passwords.
It seems that storing plaintext passwords can be compiled out. Is that why I cannot configure it
back on?

Yes, existing password records are still used, but new ones will not be
written by 1.12 and newer versions.

Aha, that explains why it works on some systems with older svn. Been working on Centos 7 with svn 1.7 for some tests.

What had me confused for a while is that if the svn.simple/123... file was written by an earlier svn then 1.12 with a plaintext password that password is used with the newer svn versions.

If you want to use plaintext passwords on disk, you'll have to build
Subversion from source and explicitly enable that feature.
