OK, but the fact that you mention PROPFIND messages means you're
serving the repository with Apache on that Windows 2003 server. Good
to know.

OK, so then I guess Apache is configured to use that Microsoft Active
Directory protection. That should be fine; Subversion should prompt
you any time it needs a username and password (but note that it also
caches that information, so you should only need to enter it once).

That's not what "export" means to Subversion. "export" means "take
this directory which is in the repository, and export it to the local
machine." I don't think that's what you want. I think you want
"import", which means "take this local directory and put it into the
repository."

Unless you're saying that you have two repositories -- one on the
Windows 2003 development server, and one on your local Windows XP
machine -- and you now want to move a project from your local
repository to the development server repository?
