Hm, I can't reproduce using /trunk client. I checked out a copy of
subclipse from tigris.org (authenticating as user 'sussman'), but I
get the normal expected error:
$ svn lock index.html
Authentication realm: <http://subclipse.tigris.org:80> CollabNet SCM
Repository
Password for 'sussman':
Authentication realm: <http://subclipse.tigris.org:80> CollabNet SCM

Username: sussman
Password for 'sussman':

subversion/libsvn_ra_dav/util.c:296: (apr_err=175002)
svn: Lock request failed: 401 Authorization Required (http://
subclipse.tigris.org)
I can tell you exactly what's happening over in the 1.1 server: the
LOCK method is flatly disallowed by apache's authorization modules.
Every time apache returns "401 unauthorized", the client simply
tries to get a new username that *might* be authorized. (Yes, it's a
flaw in apache 2.0's design: authn and authz concepts are blurred
together; the server *should* be distiguishing between authn and
authz errors.)
Ultimately, no matter how many times you authenticate correctly or
incorrectly, neon gives up.

Why on earth would provider be NULL? There's something very wrong here.
