(This repeats a lot that I've told you on IRC, jelmer, so just bear with me ;-)

Okay, well, first of all there are two functions with very similar names there ...

The one I refer to, svn_auth_get_platform_specific_client_providers() (note the plural name), gives you a *list* of platform-specific providers.

A list that could be extended in future versions of subversion.

Secondly, the gnome-keyring support provided by bzr-gtk does not serve as a drop-in replacement for SVN's gnome-keyring auth provider. For example, the SVN auth provider recently added an entry to my gnome-keyring for accessing https://dosemu.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/dosemu, consisting of only the fields:

  * Username: sbronson
  * Password: •••••••• (no, this is *not* actually my password, though it would be kind of ironic to pick it as one ;-)
  * Domain: <https://dosemu.svn.sourceforge.net:443> SourceForge Subversion area
