Bug? git svn tag Authentication failed

[Ethan Clevenger]

Git version: 2.12.2.windows.2

`git svn tag 1.0` results in:

> Copying https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/gf-payment-continue/trunk at r1651123 to https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/gf-payment-continue/tags/1.0...

In my .subversion directory I do have cached credentials under
auth/svn.simple. A vanilla svn CLI commit also works:

Unsure if this is actually a bug or my oversight.

Note, "git svn tag" uses the same backend code as "git svn branch",
and there was a recent fix for that in
commit e0688e9b28f2c5ff711460ee8b62077be5df2360
("git svn: fix authentication with 'branch'")

Looks like that change will be in 2.13 (it's in all the
release-canditates), but it should backported to 2.12.x

Junio: I think that commit should go into 'maint', too.  Thanks.

Seems like a bug to me.  Can you try one of the 2.13 release
candidates to confirm?  Thanks.
