So: svn --version on the client says:
* ra_svn : Module for accessing a repository using the svn network protocol.
- with Cyrus SASL authentication
- handles 'svn' scheme
So I thought that meant it should support things like digest-md5. Is
there a way to see what auth methods it does support?
The reason I forced digest-md5 auth was since cram-md5 doesn't support
data encryption. Probably not the end of the world though.
Thanks.
