Hmmm... not really.

On my Gentoo Linux (2.4.28-gentoo-r8):

it seems to timeout for connection but absolutely non-fatally -- Ctrl-Z
backgrounds the svn command, and then I can simply 'kill -9' it:

saulius_at_kolibris: codepuchino/ > svn co svn://codepuccino.com/
<Ctrl-Z pressed here>
[1]+ Stopped svn co svn://codepuccino.com/
saulius@kolibris: codepuchino/ > kill %1

[1]+ Stopped svn co svn://codepuccino.com/
saulius@kolibris: codepuchino/ > kill -9 %1

[1]+ Stopped svn co svn://codepuccino.com/
saulius@kolibris: codepuchino/ >
[1]+ Killed svn co svn://codepuccino.com/
saulius@kolibris: codepuchino/ >

No other applications are affected, everything functions and I can work as
usually while 'svn' timeouts.

If I wait for a while, I get timeout message:

saulius_at_kolibris: codepuchino/ > svn co svn://codepuccino.com/
svn: Can't connect to host 'codepuccino.com': Connection timed out

The same works on 2.6.11-gentoo-r8 kernel.
