Kudos to subversion

Recently I changed my password at work, the definitive version of which is stored centrally. I'd rather have one oft-changed password stored distributively, but we're still on Web 1.0.

After I did that, my mail knew to ask me, and my browser usually knew to ask me, but lots of applications that stored my password somewhere for their own purposes didn't. cvs was one of those applications. Maybe that's fixed in a more recent version, but I don't care to go upgrade my version just for that. subversion on the other hand did know, and prompted for the new password. How useful.
