As you suggest, I'm currently looking at ways to restrict the SVN/TSVN configuration client side.  It seems that one would need to enforce limited OS account permissions on the client computer and remove permissions for that user to change %APPDATA%\Subversion\config.  However in that case, it seems that a user could technically access the repository from another computer unless access was restricted by IP (not a big concern for me anyway, but strictly speaking it seems this would be a hole in the enforcement of the policy).

Maybe there is a better way to enforce a policies about password caching?  (more extensive elaboration on what I would like to "ideally" implement: http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=4061&dsMessageId=2432787)
