FWIW the behaviour in bzr.dev is *also* wrong, it just happens to not
prompt for usernames but silently fails. In this particular case that's
not a problem since your credentials are in ~/.subversion. However, if
you were using a repository for which you didn't have any credentials
stored in ~/.subversion then you would just get a "Permission denied error".

This should be fixed now in bzr.foreign, but in a different way.
bzr.foreign will now *always* check the Subversion credentials store and
if that doesn't work resort back to prompting the user.

Cheers,
