Aah, forgot that little twist :-) Right, then removing the already
stored credentials is only possible by removing the files in
.subversion/auth. This is also documented in the default
.subversion/config so the user should be able to find it.

Still I think the default of the password-dialog should be to _not_
store the password. Maybe I'm just paranoid, but then default
configuration for any service is normally as secure as possible without
making the service unusable "out of the box".
