Karl, I will try to get all output catched, but it will take a little time
to recreate the stage ... I suppose (but haven't tried) that a very low
setting of timeout in the SVN server config file would do with a
small number of files even on faster machines than mine.

Freedom quote:
You and I are told we must choose between a left or right,
but I suggest there is no such thing as a left or right.
There is only an up or down. Up to man's age-old dream --
the maximum of individual freedom consistent with order --
or down to the ant heap of totalitarianism.
Regardless of their sincerity, their humanitarian motives,
those who would sacrifice freedom for security
have embarked on this downward path. Plutarch warned,
'The real destroyer of the liberties of the people
is he who spreads among them bounties, donations and benefits.'
-- Ronald Reagan, October 27, 1964
