-------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 What happens:

 Anonymous `svn checkout` of GRASS GIS requires credentials.

 Expected behavior:

 No credentials required for reading.

 How to reproduce:

 Run Ubuntu in Docker:

 {{{
 docker run -it --rm ubuntu
 }}}

 Then install Subversion and update certificates:

 {{{
 apt update -y
 apt install -y subversion ca-certificates
 svn checkout https://svn.osgeo.org/grass/grass/trunk
 }}}

 Alternatively, run Fedora in Docker:

 {{{
 docker run -it --rm fedora bash
 }}}

 {{{
 yum update -y
 yum install -y subversion
 svn checkout https://svn.osgeo.org/grass/grass/trunk
 }}}

 In both cases I get:

 {{{
 Authentication realm: <https://svn.osgeo.org:443> OSGeo Login
 Password for 'root':
 }}}

 I observed the same behavior on two computers (Ubuntu, no Docker).

 In all cases authentication request comes after a random number of
 downloaded files, not at the beginning or after a specific file.
