Sorry for jumping in here, but no. SVN will cache password  
credentials. It depends on the URL access method. The red bean book  
has more info on exactly what methods do what. in summary, however,  
if the URLs will be over HTTPS, then SVN will cache the password. I  
use Digest over HTTPS for some of my SVN repositories.

have a nice day.yad
