There really isn't sufficent information here to understand what is
going on here. What shell are you using? Did you build Subversion on
your own or are you using a binary package? Is you are using a binary
package where did you get it? Is the server running the same version of
subversion as the client (I'm guessing yes because of the localhost).
Can you provide an reproduction recipe that starts with creating a new
repository, starts svnserve and then runs commands against that
repository? Can you provide a trace of the network traffic between the
server and the client? Finally would it be possible for you to get on
IRC sometime during the daytime in a US timezone to help try to
interactively debug this?
