gnome-keyring not working with svn 1.9

Question

I am using WANdisco subversion 1.9.2 via command line on CentOS 6.4. I'd like to store passwords for http access of repositories encrypted via gnome-keyring.

I can change the configuration in ~/.subversion/ to store passwords un-encrypted, but trying to store them encrypted in gnome-keyring doesn't work. svn is not even asking for the keyring password.

Could it be because of an incompatibility of gnome 2.28.2 with svn 1.9.2 ? What API does svn use to talk to the keyring? What environment variables need to be set?

Thanks!

[abc@def ~]$ env |grep KEYRING
GNOME_KEYRING_SOCKET=/tmp/keyring-ic4aSc/socket

Note that there is no GNOME_KEYRING_CONTROL or GNOME_KEYRING_PID variable set.

[abc@def ~]$ env |grep DBUS
DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:abstract=/tmp/dbus-TuG0dBuJRX,guid=4eb7f485c19be9c8fd5801c600238bde

Per SVNBook | Runtime Configuration Area, make sure that you've set password-stores option to gnome-keyring.
