Tell me how to authenticate against a SVN project using HTTP only.

Can you work out this design more? I don't understand how an
authenticated user can acknowledge an anonymous comment if it isn't
publicly visible. Also, AFAIK our bug tracker doesn't support
anonymous comments either, so I don't think this is an important use
case.

It's also more work to code. Once I've released the code I'll let
others decide whether they want to contribute such features.
