If the user the buildbot slave runs as simply logs into the svn  
repository once, the auth information will be cached in the  
~/.subversion/auth hierarchy (actually in the OS X Keychain with  
1.4.x) so the password won't be in the buildbot logs.  A minor  
inconvenience when setting up a new slave but it certainly solves  
this issue.

Or am I missing something?
