Using svn log in a directory which is part of my project. BeOS uses a
bash variety. What goes wrong is a crash in svn_path_join. Config.log
ends with "configure: exit 0".

I've debugged things a bit and found out that the problem starts in
get_creds() in providers.c - what it does there is

config_dir = apr_hash_get (parameters,
                             SVN_AUTH_PARAM_CONFIG_DIR,
                             APR_HASH_KEY_STRING);

(at around line 82). The problem is that this returns null on my
system. SVN_AUTH_PARAM_CONFIG_DIR is "svn:auth:config-dir", and
parameters seems like a valid pointer.

Next, this null pointer is passed into svn_config_read_auth_data with
cred_kind == svn.simple and realmstring == <http://pc1.stoks.nl:80>
Subversion repository.

svn_config_read_auth_data does a path_join() which dereferences the
null pointer and crashes.

Simply putting an if(config_dir) around the call to
svn_config_read_auth_data() solved the problem for me, but I'm probably
treating symptoms here...
