That version is 2.5 months old. Subversion is pre-1.0 software; pretty
please -- use the latest version if you want better tech support. :-)

So from this, I assume you're using svnserve, and not apache, as your
server? We need more details. Show us your url schemas.
The --username parameter is *only* used if the server issues an
authentication challenge. The svn client doesn't "push" authentication
at the server; the server "pulls" it from the client only if it thinks
authentication is necessary. That means the --username parameter is
useless if
* you point the client at an anonymous svnserve ('svnserve -d')
* you point the client an apache server with no auth configured
* you point the client at an ssh-tunnelled-svnserve (the ssh username
is used instead)
If you are in fact using svnserve by itself, you should upgrade to the
latest version, because it now includes build-in CRAM5 authentication.
