Like Eric wrote, I'm pretty sure it is svn that is meant to store the password here and the perl bindings or the git-svn part fails to deal with the os x keychain right. With pure svn the keychain authentication works just fine. If I set up plaintext password storage in the svn configs, then git svn is also able to store passwords. There is also this macports ticket [1] that has been around for a while. But that can only be fixed by an upstream fix here. I would love to help to get this working, but I'm not sure how I can.
