title: SVN avoid storing passwords in plain text?
body: <p>Under a bare bones setup for SVN on windows (without using VisualSVN), as per the instructions, the passwords are to be entered in the passwd file.</p>
  
  <p>Does SVN provide a way to encrypt or atleast mask this file? as if a person has access to the server directories, he can quite casually edit these files in plain text and come to know of all passwords for the SVN repositories.</p>
  
  <p>I'm not installing the apache service etc. Just basic SVN on a windows 2003 server with TortoiseSVN as client.</p>
  
  <p>Cheers
