This is nothing you couldn't do with a clever credential
helper at the start of your stack, like:

  [credential "http://"]
	helper = "!f() { grep -v ^path= ; }; f"
	helper = your_real_helper

But doing this:

  [credential]
	useHttpPath = false

Shouldn't this be 'usePath' or 'usePathComponent' or 'useRepositoryPath',
etc.?  Because if^W when remote helper for Subversion is complete, you
could have svn://svnserve.example.com/path/to/repo as an URL... which
would be not HTTP(S).
