How can I programmatically send a blank password?

I have a shell script that checks out a subversion repo. The connection asks for a password (I know it's an unnecessary layer since the password is blank), but how can I send a blank password to subversion? 

#!/bin/sh

svn co svn://server/repo ~/Desktop/data

This then sends a password prompt to the terminal, is there a way to automatically respond in my script with a blank password?

I really don't recommend doing it like that, but a more generic way would be the use of expect:
