Well, yes, there you go! I was just thinking to myself, "gee, I
wonder if subversion is usable over slow lines; I wonder if it makes
efficient use of the network."

But that error below -- "could not connect to server" -- that says it
all! I guess subversion is unusable, over slow lines in particular.
Thanks for clearing that up. ;-)

This is a TCP/IP error, not a subversion bug. Neon is telling you
that it actually failed to open a socket to the server.

Try pinging the server, see if you're getting erratic ping times, or
unexpectedly long delays. The problem here is network connectivity.
I know there's no http proxy, but there's most likely -something-
wrong along the IP route to the host, like a flakey ISP.

Yes. If you had compiled with --enable-maintainer-mode, you would
have seen an exact position in the code printed out.
