Ok, I played around with it some and found something that works.
I commented out all the providers except for:
SVN::Client::get_username_prompt_provider(
\&Git::SVN::Prompt::username, 2)
And that seems to actually work!
Interestingly, it doesn't actually interactively prompt me for a
username. At least, not when I ran 'git svn dcommit --username test'.
It did when I later ran a 'git svn fetch'.
I don't know this API at all, and it's been a long time since I've
done any perl. (And I didn't even realize you used perl bindings to
libsvn until a few minutes ago, I just assumed you somehow implemented
everything from scratch.)
But my guess is that 'SVN::Client::get_username_provider()' is
provided by the perl binding and isn't git-svn specific, and so it
knows nothing of the --username argument, it simply is reading ~/.svn.
(Assuming git-svn reads ~/.svn at all.) (That hints at maybe I could
control the user with the files in ~/.svn, which I didn't even
consider previously.) And if it knows nothing about git-svn or any
arguments passed, then that explains why it didn't work.
Meanwhile, 'SVN::Client::get_username_prompt_provider' also looks like
a stock SVN::Client function, but it's passed in a Git::SVN::
argument, that I'm assuming is some sort of callback. So in that case
it's able to provided it with the passed in --username argument, or
failing that, it prompts me.
So I have something that I think will work for me. I'm not sure how to
turn it into a reasonable patch though. Maybe we need to eliminate
some of the auth_provides from the list if the --username option is
passed in?

svn --version
svn, version 1.6.12 (r955767)
I know that's pretty old.
Thanks,
