Yes, rebase (without the -l) option needs it for sure.  I think info can
optionally use it, too.  Does enabling authentication caching (enabled
by default in SVN) help things?  I haven't used the authentication
prompt pieces in ages, they're hard to test in an automated fashion so
they may have bit-rotted since I last looked at them...

If you're comfortable with a little Perl, you can sprinkle some debug
statements in working_head_info().  Feel free to email me directly
offlist but my schedule looks pretty hectic today and this weekend
and I may be offline a lot.
