I'm working on a system to interact with subversion automatically. Some of the repositories in question work over https, and this requires authentication for certain actions.
I would love to separate authentication from action. Is there a way to perform an authenticated no-op (which would fail if not authenticated)? If this did exist, then I could first try this, and perform the hairier actions only once I'm sure I'm authenticated. The best we've been able to come up with at work so far is to do a propset on a revision property. Thanks, -Dan Bentley
