If a project that has a credential that has read only access and you try to
change the credentials for the svn repository to an alternate set with
read/write you receive an error as below. Please see message from Kohsuke below:

Subject: Re: Change credentials problem

OK.

I guess the problem is that when I ask svnkit to test the connection, it doesn't
try anything that requires the write access, so it never gets to the point where
it needs a credential.

Hmm.

Can you file this as an issue? I guess we could let Hudson store it anyway so
that it's available when Hudson actually gets around doing some write operation.
