Description

I am trying to use git-svn, which uses the perl SVN bindings to access the SVN
infrastructure.   I have my ~/.subversion/config setup to use the "keychain" for
the password-stores (on Mac OS X) and "gnome-keyring" on Fedora 12.  The SVN
command line client works correctly and uses the keychain/keyring for password
access, BUT any application using the perl bindings (like git-svn) re-asks the
password and stores it in the ~/.subversion/auth/ subdirs directly bypassing the
keychain/keyring.

I can recreate this issue on Mac OS X 10.6 (SVN 1.6.5) and Fedora 12 (SVN 1.6.9)
