Funnily enough a colleague had this earlier today but I hadn't looked into the
cause until now. I get this if the directory already exists. In that case
it's a harmless if a bit obscure error message. I'm using a rather old server
running 1.4 and client 1.5.7. You should be able to tell if this is the cause
for your error by issuing the command and seeing what is already there in
that directory

svn ls https://blabla.googlecode.com/svn
