I read that about the compatibility of 1.x clients and servers, which
is just another reason why this issue has been so confusing. This is
what a typical transaction looks like where the authentication fails.
The user is prompted to enter his/her password, even though their
credentials are stored and this wasn't necessary in the past. After
three attempts, the authorization failed message is displayed.
$ svn update
Authentication realm: <http://hostname.com:80> Subversion
Password for 'username': *********
Authentication realm: <http://hostname.com:80> Subversion
Username: username
Password for 'username': *********
Authentication realm: <http://hostname.com:80> Subversion
Username: username
Password for 'username': *********
svn: OPTIONS of 'http://hostname.com/subversion/repo': authorization
failed (http://hostname.com)
Thanks again for the help.
