Title:
  update crashes on password protected server

Status in subversion package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hello,

  The current version of Subversion on Ubuntu Bionic has a bug related
  with gpg-agent.

  The problem is when you run "svn up" with multiple directories and/or
  files as arguments on a already checked out repository. This only
  happens on a UN/PW protected Subversion repository via https.

  Steps to reproduce:

  rm -rf ~/.subversion [if you don't do this its harder to reproduce]
  cd private_repo
  svn up dir1 dir2/foo dir3/bar myfile.txt

  Output:

  Updating 'dir1':
  Authentication realm: <https://REDACTED:443> Repositorio SVN - REDACTED
  Password for 'falso': <enter>

  Authentication realm: <https://REDACTED:443> Repositorio SVN - REDACTED
  Username: myuser
  Password for 'myuser': mypass

  -----------------------------------------------------------------------
  ATTENTION!  Your password for authentication realm:

     <https://REDACTED:443> Repositorio SVN - REDACTED

  can only be stored to disk unencrypted!  You are advised to configure
  your system so that Subversion can store passwords encrypted, if
  possible.  See the documentation for details.

  You can avoid future appearances of this warning by setting the value
  of the 'store-plaintext-passwords' option to either 'yes' or 'no' in
  '/home/falso/.subversion/servers'.
  -----------------------------------------------------------------------
  Store password unencrypted (yes/no)? no
  U    dir1/test.txt
  U    dir1/test2.txt
  Updated to revision 71.
  Updating 'dir2/foo':

  The version on bionic is 1.9.7. So went digging in the Subversion
  source code and tried to see if it was fixed in newer releases of this
  same branch.

  I built every version from the 1.9 branch until I found it was fixed
  in version 1.9.10, so I used git bisect to figure out which commit
  fixed it.

  Its this one:
  https://github.com/apache/subversion/commit/aa731718d6ff24dfcf5a3260d8988cee34ce2be1

  In that commit it mentions r1691952 of the Subversion repository:
  https://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1691952

  And that one mentions a bug in the Subversion bug tracker:
  https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SVN-4584?issueNumber=4584

  I tried that patch (the github one) on 1.9.7 and it fixes the crash.

  To submit this bug I tried to follow this:
  https://packaging.ubuntu.com/html/fixing-a-bug.html

  But in the process of running: pbuilder-dist bionic
  ../subversion_1.9.7-4ubuntu2.dsc

  The compilation fails with some other unrelated problem:

  /bin/bash: /usr/lib/jvm/default-java/bin/javah: No such file or
  directory

  From what I've found javah has been deprecated -
