Re: conflicts-test very slow over svnserve (Windows)

It resolves to both ::1 and 127.0.0.1 on Windows, and as (per RFC) ipv6 is
tried before ipv4... things timeout before trying the address used by
default (hardcoded) in svnserve.
(We used to default to ipv6 for some time... But we decided to explicitly
default to ipv4 when not passing the later added -6)

More recent Windows versions have a workaround/speedup for this problem.
They will swap the DNS results after a few failed attempts.
