git-svn ignores subversion password-stores, overwriting auth-creds

[Tais Plougmann Hansen]

Binary package hint: git-svn

I have password-stores = kwallet in .subversion/config and store-plaintext-passwords = no in .subversion/servers.

When using subversion directly (ie. svn list http://some.svn.server) passwords are stored in and pulled from kwallet. Auth credential file in .subversion/auth/xxx contains passtype kwallet.

If I then access the same svn repository through git svn clone, I'm asked for the password again and the passtype is erased from the .subversion/auth/svn.simple/xxx file.
