I have the following authentication failure while svn rebase and

Authentication failed at

I can workaround the issue to add auth configuration to
SVN::Client->new().

Missing sign-off (see Documentation/SubmittingPatches).
Not my rule, but it's unfortunately required for this project.

Also, the Subject: should be in the imperative mood,
Perhaps something like:

Subject: [PATCH] git svn: fix authentication with 'branch'

I am less picky about the message body.

Since we're not using it, here, you can avoid setting a variable
for $callbacks more explicitly:

	my ($config, $baton, undef) = Git::SVN::Ra::prepare_config_once();

 	my $ctx = SVN::Client->new(
-		config => SVN::Core::config_get_config(
-			$Git::SVN::Ra::config_dir
-		),
+		auth => $baton,
+		config => $config,
 		log_msg => sub {
 			${ $_[0] } = defined $_message
 				? $_message
-- 

Anyways, this looks like a good change.  I will accept a v2
with your sign-off and changes noted above.  Thank you.
