Hi Mark,

No, I used previous versions of Subclipse before. I had been using
1.1.6 and 1.1.7 and then upgraded to 1.1.8 through the update site.
After that, the error came up. I deactivated the Subclipse plugin and
tried to reinstall it using the update site, but due to some Eclipse
bug, I wasn't able to. So I deleted my Eclipse install (which was
3.2.1, upgraded from a previous install of 3.2) and redownloaded
Eclipse. I also moved my workplace and had Eclipse initialize a new
one. Then I installed Subclipse 1.1.8 through the update site, which
worked fine that time.
I then imported my projects using the Eclipse import wizard from my
old workplace. Upon committing, the error showed up again, so I
checked the Subclipse configuration and noticed that it was
complaining about missing JavaHL binaries. I switched to JavaSVN, but
the error did not go away. I guess Subclipse was using JavaSVN as a
fallback anyway.
As I wrote earlier this problem only seems to come up with legacy
projects. Newly created or checked out projects work fine.

I don't, but I do have the svn command line client installed. I
upgraded it to the latest 1.4 release yesterday. I haven't used the
command line client at all though. I thought Subclipse may need it,
but now realize that with JavaSVN, this is not the case.

The projects where created using Subclipse 1.1.6 and 1.1.7. They were
not actually checked out - I created empty repositories on the server
and then shared my Eclipse projects using Team -> Share project.

I didn't do that. After upgrading to 1.1.8, I did not revert to a
previous release. I only reinstalled 1.1.8.

I know you don't like this, but as I said my problem seems to
resemble what Jerry described. Now I don't know much about subversion
and it's meta information, but it seems that maybe Subclipse isn't
updating the present .svn files for me. If you want, I can send you
some sample .svn files to have a look at.
If there's anything you need me to do so that we can nail this
problem down, I'm happy to do it. It's the least I can do. I think
you guys are providing a great service here, I wouldn't have expected
to get so much help and friendliness. Thanks again for that.

Hmm. I'll look into this once my projects commit fine again, but am I
wrong in assuming that for svn+ssh, I don't even need Apache, and
thus, I don't need APR? As I understand it, APR is only being used by
subversion when accessing it through Apache?
