Well it works with Internet Explorer, shouldn't it work with svn too
then?

The server doesn't have an (official, world wide reachable) IPv4
address, so I didnt put it into DNS. Means there is only a AAAA DNS
Record, so there cant be any fallback to IPv4. And since all browsers,
nslookup, dig can look it up, connect to it and also ask for a
password, there should not be a problem with the connectivity and/or
DNS.

If you want to test it yourself, I can send you the real DNS Name -
since I don't want to put it on the mailing list.
