Subversion bug thinks host is peg revision in: svn+ssh://svn@host/

Hello all:

I am running the following command and get the weird output below:

  tigris> svn list svn+ssh://svn@tigris/
  svn: Syntax error parsing revision 'tigris'

It looks to me like the parser thinks that @tigris is a peg revision
specifier. If I change it to:

  tigris> svn list svn+ssh://svn@tigris/core

I get the expected list. Variants of the URL:

   svn+ssh://svn@tigris/.
   svn+ssh://svn@tigris

also yield the same "parsing revision" error message.

This all came to light when I changed the forced command for the svn
user on tigris from:

  /tools/subversion-1.3/bin/svnserve -t --tunnel-user=rouilj

to:

  /tools/subversion-1.3/bin/svnserve -t -r ~svn/dev-repository \
    --tunnel-user=rouilj

so that I could move the repository location without my users having
to do a switch --relocate.

The involved versions of the software on this fedora core 2 box
(tigris) are:

  subversion-1.2.1-0.1.1.fc2.rf
  subversion-1.3-1
  neon-0.24.7-2.1
  apr-0.9.4-11

In this case and the case below the subversion 1.3-1 were locally
built and packaged. Now another box running Centos 4.3 with revisions:

  subversion-1.1.4-2.ent
  subversion-1.3-1
  neon-0.24.7-4
  apr-0.9.4-24.5

doesn't have this problem, but another Centos 4.3 box with a newer apr:

   apr-0.9.4-24.5.c4.1

does exhibit this problem. Could this issue be caused by code in the
apr library?

Has this problem been identified (I didn't see it online). Is it fixed
(by some other changes maybe) in 1.4?

I am looking at reverting the svnserve command line change and making
it "-r ~svn", but that would mean my users will have to do svn
switches and they will still need to know the physical location of the
repository which is less than ideal.
