I wanted to provide some contexts, I should have done before. I want to use git svn in some scripts that are launched un-attended. As my SVN server requires a password, I need to provide it but it can not be at user prompt. This is why I wanted to add the password parameter that is available in svn CLI. I understand the concern regarding the fact that the password can be retrieved through ps. You are right, it would be better to be able to use git-credential or libsvn solution for this purpose.
