I found the problem in some bug reports. My server had run out of entropy
and so svnserve was blocking on a call to /dev/random.
On that red hat release, entropy stops getting collected. One solution is
rebooting.
The solution I found was:
rm /dev/random
mknod -m 644 /dev/random c 1 9
chown root:root /dev/random
