Wow, I just signed up to the mainling list to post about this, but it turns
out the latest message is exactly what I wanted to ask.

Like Eric wrote, I'm pretty sure it is svn that is meant to store the
password here and the perl bindings or the git-svn part fails to deal with
the os x keychain right. With pure svn the keychain authentication works
just fine. If I set up plaintext password storage in the svn configs, then
git svn is also able to store passwords.

There is also this macports ticket [1] that has been around for a while. But
that can only be fixed by an upstream fix here.

I would love to help to get this working, but I'm not sure how I can.

Cheers,
Nikolaus
