I agree, this has come up before and I have never found the username in the URL 
to be useful, only ever annoying. When checking out a working copy via 
Versions, one of my first steps tends to be opening Terminal and typing `svn 
switch --relocate http://usern...@server/path http://server/path 
/path/to/working copy` to get rid of the username. I've also found it to 
complicate merging; for people who can't identify the problem (that the 
repository root URL doesn't match) when trying to merge with a server URL, this 
is a major roadblock which requires help from someone else, and often postpones 
merging, increasing the risk of conflicts and integration errors. It seems like 
something that's useful in theory, but a hinderance in practice.
