I can reproduce this with trunk:

$ sudo mkdir -m 700 /tmp/conf
$ svn --config-dir /tmp/conf ls https://svn.collab.net/repos/svn
Error validating server certificate for 'https://svn.collab.net:443':
 - The certificate is not issued by a trusted authority. Use the
   fingerprint to validate the certificate manually!

We should throw an error, or at least print a warning.

Please file a bug report and make sure it contains a link to this
thread in the archives (archives are at http://svn.haxx.se and
http://svn.tigris.org, take your pick).

Thanks!
