Check the available authentication credential caches:
[[[
$ svn --version
[...]
The following authentication credential caches are available:

* Plaintext cache in /home/daniel/.subversion
* Gnome Keyring
* GPG-Agent
* KWallet (KDE)
]]]

If you are missing the Plaintext cache then your distribution compiled
Subversion without the support for storing passwords in the plaintext
cache. (The compile-time option changed in Subversion 1.12 to disable the
plaintext cache unless explicitly enabled).

This has been a source of many questions and a lot of confusion during the
years. Recently, a script was developed that will allow you to store the
password even if your svn binary will not. Please be aware of any security
implications of storing the password in plaintext.

See https://subversion.apache.org/faq.html#plaintext-passwords for more
information including a link to the aforementioned script.

Kind regards,
Daniel
