This should really have been sent to the users@ list.
This sounds a lot like the fairly common svnserve problem where it is
blocking in APR waiting for a random number to be generated from
/dev/random. If that is the problem, then APR can be reconfigured and built
to get the random number from /dev/urandom which will solve the problem. A
lot of the people I have seen have this problem are using Gentoo. Here is
an example:
http://svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2006-11/0014.shtml
http://svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2005-02/0828.shtml
All that being said, the problem with /dev/random is a lack of entropy, and
if the repository is on your desktop it seems unlikely that you would have
that problem. It is worth a try though.
