git svn - Does Git-Svn Store Svn Passwords?

Question

I'm using git-svn with a couple of work projects and I've noticed that for just about every action I take, I get prompted for my Svn password. For some actions, I get prompted multiple times (presumably b/c there are several actions going on behind the scenes). For example, when cloning a repository, I'm prompted 5 times before the cloning actually begins.

Projects for which I'm using Svn directly don't do this. Is this expected? Is there anything I can do to cache my credentials?

Thanks.

I ended up having to delete the auth directory all together and allow Subversion to rebuild it for me. Nothing else seemed to work. For anyone who doesn't know, the auth directory is in ~/.subversion (Mac/Linux).
