No, I think the immediate problem here is issue #1201: "200 httpd
response contains <error> in body".

Um, svn clients don't affect the format of the repository. When the
repository db schema changes, you'll definitely know: you're forced
to do a dump/reload of all data.

I think the problem here is that the path /svn/.../branches/hostway
doesn't exist in revision 33. Is that the case?
