Yes, I see your point. But do you want to rename just the subcommand? The API used internally by 'svn auth' is also using the term 'auth', svn_config_walk_auth_data(). The directory which stores the data this subcommand works with is also called 'auth', ~/.subversion/auth. Renaming just the subcommand would create inconsistencies here. Is having 'svn creds' very important to you? How about a subcommand alias?
