Credentials are cached in the user's home directory (~/.subversion,
%APPDATA%\subversion), not in the working copy. If the 2 users have
separate logins on the machine, then it's real easy. Otherwise, you
can pass --username and --password command-line options.

But I'd advise against encouraging this practice. In this scheme,
UserA can make changes, and they'll be attributed to UserB in
Subversion. A malicious UserA could cause a lot of trouble for UserB
here.
