A workaround: svn can cache your authentication tokens to 
'~/.subversion/auth/'. Run 'svn' once without '--no-auth-cache' and copy 
the key. Then Fabric can put the key here, run 'svn update' and finally 
remove the key.

No passwords on logs, no passwords on stdout, no passwords hardcoded on 
your fabfile.
