--no-auth-cache (as I read the code anyway) seems to prevent the
caching of new auth tokens, but not the reading of ones that are
already there.  So if you've already got a cached token for Mark, it
will still be used.  As to why it's used instead of the one passed on
the command line, I'm not exactly sure.  It sure looks like it should
be getting passed down to the right place.  The code doesn't look to
have changed substantially between 1.2.x and 1.3.x.  Do you see this
over svn://, or just http://?
