Sebb commented on SVN-4375:
---------------------------

Also, whilst being able to get the password from stdin is useful, this 
precludes passing the commands from stdin as well.

Whereas being able to read the password from an fd or a file would free up 
stdin 

> Allow svnmucc to read password from fd

> It's not very secure having the password provided on the command-line.
> A more secure method is to read the password from a file descriptor, c.f. the
> GPG --passphrase-fd option. Or at least support reading the password from 
> stdin.
