It is somehow related to authenification. Maybe - a password exchange
protocol. This option is needed by both client and server - without it I
can't fetch some non-public repos, which use SASL auth method. But yes,
gentoo also keeps it disabled by default.

What should I write to override this setting? Could you please give me an
example (sorry, my nix-skill is still weak)? Or maybe should we write
something like this:

  subversion = callPackage
../applications/version-management/subversion/default.nix {
    neon = pkgs.neon029;
    ...
    saslSupport = getConfig [ "subversion" "saslSupport" ] false;
    ...
  };

?
