Hi,

Not directly related to this commit but at least in the same FAQ entry, I
noticed that the link to TortoiseSVN's document describing SSPI
authentication is no longer working. The actual document is there but the
the linked section was deleted in 2011 (see
https://svn.osdn.net/svnroot/tortoisesvn/trunk/doc/source/en/TortoiseSVN/tsvn_repository/,
r21241).

It seems the whole FAQ entry should be rewritten, looking at the history it
seems to be largely unchanged since it was written in 2003.

Unfortunately I don't know enough about this subject to propose anything
myself.

Kind regards,
Daniel Sahlberg
