Subversion Logins Utility - selectively remove authentication data

Subversion keeps your saved authentication data in a folder on your local workstation.  On my Windows Vista laptop, this folder is C:\Users\jcogley\AppData\Roaming\Subversion\auth\svn.simple.  In this folder, you will find some cryptically named files - one for each Subversion repository authentication information that you have saved.  Using TortoiseSVN you have the option to "Clear Authentication Data" which will clear all saved authentication data.  In most scenarios, that is probably fine - but if you work frequently onsite with customers this can be a pain since the only way to clear the auth data for a sensitive repository is to clear the auth data for everything or remember the directory to go digging around in to find the right file to delete.

This itch finally got scratched for me last week and I wrote a simple utility to show the saved logins and allow you to delete them one at a time.
