I just got a private report from a user that has a setup with a private
certificate. This user happened to select the wrong certificate for a
server, and got the following response:

svn: E120171: Unable to connect to a repository at URL 
'https://example.com/svn/foobar'
svn: E120171: Error running context: An error occurred during SSL communication


This the error code E120171 comes from Serf and apparently means
SERF_ERROR_AUTHN_FAILED. There's corroboration in the server log:

[Tue Jan 28 13:32:47 2014] [info] SSL Library Error: 336105671 
error:140890C7:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_CLIENT_CERTIFICATE:peer did not return a 
certificate No CAs known to server for verification?


The bug, as I see it, is that in this case, the command-line client
doesn't ask for different credentials. Shouldn't we be transforming (or
wrapping) SERF_ERROR_AUTHN_FAILED to SVN_ERR_RA_NOT_AUTHORIZED?
