[OpenID] Beanstalk removes OpenID support

[Andrew Arnott]

I don't know how one could add OpenID support to SVN.  But OAuth would be a
natural.  An 'svn authorize" command would pop up a web browser where the
user would log into the SVN server site (the OAuth SP) using OpenID or any
other credential, and then SVN could capture the OAuth token and use that
programmatically from then on.

Chris, what can we do to better "package" OpenID and OAuth as a combined
solution for these scenarios?
