Authentication in the Subversion client is handled by the Neon library.
Currently, the library handles "Basic" and "Digest" schemes. I have
preliminary support for "NTLM" and "Negotiate" on Win32, but any other auth
scheme is unhandled.
Probably the relevant thing to look at here is the authentication headers
being passed back and forth. There is support for logging built in, you
just need to turn it on (look for a #if 0). If the authentication scheme is
begin recognized as one of the supported schemes, it's probably a bug in
Neon. Otherwise, it might be detecting as an unsupported scheme.
The other relevant issue is whether or not you are passing through a proxy;
the code to handle proxy servers is slightly different and could be a
suspect.
