Subversion 1.6.12 and serf 0.6.1 from Macports doesn't even do any
type of a checkout - it always errors out immediately.

Backing up, there are three faults:

 - API/ABI compatibility - this was broken way back in 0.4.0 - no
current 1.6.x release of Subversion can work with anything from serf
0.4.0 or higher. You need the proposed backport to Subversion
(1.6.x-r879757) to make 1.6.x work with the serf 0.4.0+ API.

 - Authn framework fix - this is fixed in 0.7.0.

 - Memory usage - this is also fixed in 0.7.0.

1.7.x/trunk of Subversion could work with 0.4.0-0.6.1 - this is what
Stefan and others reported the memory leaks - but Subversion has never
officially released a version that works with serf 0.4.0+.

I'm not sure there is any API/ABI changes between 0.6.1 and 0.7.0.
