I looked into the other providers. The Authenticatable module in the 
Ruby binding provides the following methods: 

add_simple_provider
add_username_provider
add_ssl_client_cert_file_provider
add_ssl_client_cert_pw_file_provider
add_ssl_server_trust_file_provider
add_simple_prompt_provider
add_username_prompt_provider
add_ssl_server_trust_prompt_provider
add_ssl_client_cert_prompt_provider
add_ssl_client_cert_pw_prompt_provider
add_platform_specific_client_providers

I thought the add_ssl_server_trust_prompt_provider() might be right for 
solving my issue. However, this just lets me manipulate an 
AuthCredSSLServerTrust object which I think maps to the C struct 
svn_auth_cred_ssl_server_trust_t, which does not let me set something 
like trust_server_cert in svn_cmdline_create_auth_baton(). 

So my problem is that I cannot find out how 
svn_cmdline_create_auth_baton() is mapped in the Ruby binding.
