Description

# assuming a repo at /svn

# create svnserve.conf like so:
[general]
password-db = users
realm = soundgeek

# anonymous users can do nothing
anon-access = none

# authenticated users can both read and write
auth-access = write

# create a users file like so (note that user1 and user2 have the same password):
[users]
user1 = passw
user2 = passw

# run svnserve
svnserve -d

# co repo as user1
svn co svn://localhost/svn user1 --username user1
< enter password >

# co repo as user2
svn co svn://localhost/svn user2 --username user2

*** no password is requested and the checkout occurs ***

If I look in the auth/svn.simple/ file for this realm, it has been updated with user2's username.

K 8
password
V 5
passw
K 15
svn:realmstring
V 32
<svn://localhost:3690> soundgeek
K 8
username
V 5
user2
END

Even though the passwords are the same, should the auth system be picking up the cached password 
from user1?  Seems like a bug.

svn, version 1.1.3 (r12730)
