I'm not one of the developers and can't fix anything, but I don't
remember seeing anyone acknowledge that your situation should exist in
the first place. So I'd say the first step should be to try what you
did again and test peg revision access.

I didn't mean what was shipped with the OS, I meant whatever the current
update gets you. But if that's a 1.4.x I'd look for something newer
even if you have to build it yourself.

Is the subversion server a build host too? Even so, I don't think I'd
want to keep using a 1.4.x.

I'd think you'd want to run a fairly current 64-bit version going
forward. You just need to avoid whatever it was that broke your access
to peg revisions in the process of converting.
