As you wrote, the bug is not in SubVersion but SVNKit, which is independent of
SubVersion (it doesn't use the SubVersion libraries). So you need to file a
bug report there. SubVersion is not part of this operation and thus can't do
a thing, because this is a third-party library manipulating the repository
(think of it like if you were messing around in the repository with an
editor: SubVersion can't prevent that; of course I don't mean to insult
SVNKit here, bugs just happen :-))
