I guess the Cygwin build of subversion can only cache plaintext 
passwords, and you've just turned that off, so it won't cache passwords. 
I will look into supporting the wincrypt API in the Cygwin build, but I 
wouldn't hold your breath if I were you. It might also be possible to 
turn on the GNOME keyring or KWallet support, although again I'm not sure.
