Subversion supports both gnome-keyring and kwallet, and does prefer
them to storing them plaintext.  I always thought it would be rather
nice if bzr-svn would make use of those cached credentials in those
locations.

+1.  You can do it now, but you have to get the password in there
yourself, which isn't very easy. :-(  Maybe bzr-gtk makes that easier?
