I just did an install of FreeBSD 6.3 release into a virtual machine so
there are no configs of mine present. I installed subversion 1.4.4
from ports and get the same errors with 1.5/trunk, and the same lack
of errors with 1.4. The repo was freshly created with svnadmin create
with no changes to the configs from the defaults.
Also tested against a Dreamhost Linux server, and got the same thing.
They are running svn 1.4.2, but other than the server version change
and the OS change everything was the same.

I'll start digging on this soon.

Peace,
Augie
