Greg, sorry for your frustration. You're not misunderstanding svn at
all; this is a known bug, issue #891. (You can read about it in the
issue tracker.) It will be fixes RSN.

Specifically, our DAV layer has a bug whereby it (sometimes) freaks
out if you send an http request on a path that doesn't exist in the
HEAD revision. And that's exactly what you're doing here.

If this a huge impediment to you right now, you might want to play
with ra_svn instead...
