That is a bit different than what I am used to. I'll not make this mistake again.

Yes.
Errors are sent in this format using DAV:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<D:error xmlns:D="DAV:" xmlns:m="http://apache.org/dav/xmlns" xmlns:C="svn:">
<C:error/>
<m:human-readable errcode="160024">
The version resource does not correspond to the resource within the transaction. Either the requested version resource is out of date (needs to be updated), or the requested version resource is newer than the transaction root (restart the commit).
</m:human-readable>
</D:error>

errcode match the standard SVN error codes, and on some cases 16006 (revision doesn't exist), the client will display the message from the server. In other cases, it appears to use just the errcode number and internal resource for that.
