Package: subversion
Version: 1.6.3dfsg-1
Severity: normal

If the ~/.subversion is a symllink, at not read directory, the
credential to log into the server are not saved under
~/.subversion/auth/ directory:

Symlink personal config from elsewhere:

    ln -s ~/my/configs/svn ~/.subversion

Work with svn:

    svn co svn://localhost/repo/test
    cd test
    touch new
    svn add new
    svn ci -m "new: add"

    Authentication realm: <svn://localhost:3690> 
808479ac-ab15-46a0-8b30-3077f050203d
    Password for 'foo': 
    Authentication realm: <svn://localhost:3690> 
808479ac-ab15-46a0-8b30-3077f050203d
    Username: test
    Password for 'test': 
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------
    ATTENTION!  Your password for authentication realm:

       <svn://localhost:3690> 808479ac-ab15-46a0-8b30-3077f050203d

    can only be stored to disk unencrypted!  You are advised to configure
    your system so that Subversion can store passwords encrypted, if
    possible.  See the documentation for details.

    You can avoid future appearances of this warning by setting the value
    of the 'store-plaintext-passwords' option to either 'yes' or 'no' in
    '/foo/.subversion/servers'.
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------
    Store password unencrypted (yes/no)? yes
    Sending        new
    Transmitting file data .
    Committed revision 1.

And repeat

    echo asdasdas > new
    svn ci -m "new: add"

*BUT* the username, password, "Store password unencrypted" questions
are asked again. 

The required directory ~/.subversion/auth/ did not appear:

    $ find -L ~/.subversion
    /foo/.subversion
    /foo/.subversion/README.txt
    /foo/.subversion/config
    /foo/.subversion/servers
