The "MasterPassphrase" page has been changed by CMichaelPilato:
http://wiki.apache.org/subversion/MasterPassphrase?action=diff&rev1=3&rev2=4

  
   * Access to a library for doing string encryption/decryption.
   * A mechanism for telling Subversion to use a master passphrase.  Probably a 
runtime configuration variable (`use-master-passphrase`, e.g.).
+  * A way to know how to find the master passphrase in existing keyring 
caches.  Probably a static string ("Subversion Master Password") or somesuch.
   * A means for verifying that a user- or keystore-provided passphrase is the 
correct one.  Self-check against a known string (stored along with the authn 
data) seems the most obvious option, here.
   * A means (API functions and binary support) by which to allow users to 
set/change their master passphrase (re-encrypting their whole cached credential 
set).
