subversion 1.12.0-1 not saving credentials

Hi,

I've come across an annoying problem where subversion 1.12.0-1 isn't saving my password as plaintext in its config.

It saves my username correctly but refuses to store the password.

I downgraded to 1.11.1-1 which can save my password. 1.12.0-1 can subsequently read the password saved but does not save new ones. 1.12.0-3 does not fix the issue.

I have the necessary
[auth]
password-stores =

In .subversion/config

And
[global]
store-passwords = yes
store-auth-creds = yes
store-plaintext-passwords = yes

In .subversion/servers

This feels like an upstream problem and a quick search of the JIRA doesn't reveal anything. If I don't have to jump through too many hoops to sign up and report it there I'll do that and post a link here.

Thanks.

It's not a bug, it's a feature.

Ah, well thanks.

I see their motivation but this is annoying.
