Thanks for looking this up. Unfortunately, I can't verify the rev
file, since I don't have it anymore, it has been overwritten by trying
to reproduce it (grrrr, should remember to backup leftover
repositories and working copies after a failed test run, before trying
to reproduce it). Whatever I try now, I can't reproduce it anymore
:-(.

Thanks for the suggestion, maybe something like that could be the
cause. Not exactly a corrupt cache in Apache (because the test failure
I had was with ra_svn), but perhaps a leftover corrupt repository on
disk, still being locked by apache or ... something like that.
Otherwise I don't see how an Apache process could interfere with an
svnserve process.

I do remember that, before I started the ra_svn tests, I did a short
attempt with ra_serf against that particular Apache process (which I
had just started then). That test run failed somewhere (because of a
known issue of AVG Surf Shield interfering with serf (issue #4175 --
fixed in 1.8 but never backported to 1.7)), and I aborted it (Ctrl-C).
After that I left Apache running, disabled AVG Surf Shield, and
started a batch script that ran ra_local, ra_svn, ra_neon and ra_serf
in sequence. So maybe, just maybe, that first aborted ra_serf run left
something broken on disk that was later hit by the ra_svn test run
(but not by the ra_local test run that ran first, and not by the
ra_neon and ra_serf test runs that came later ???).

Anyway, I'm going to leave it at that, and conclude this is some weird
one-time local issue. I'll retest ra_svn once more tonight, and if
successful I'll commit my signature tonight or tomorrow.
