+ **security issue** - The ``subversion`` module provided the password
+ via the svn command line option ``--password`` and can be retrieved
+ from the host's /proc/<pid>/cmdline file. Update the module to use
+ the secure ``--password-from-stdin`` option instead, and add a warning
+ in the module and in the documentation if svn version is too old to
+ support it.
