Is this issue still reproducible with neon 0.29? The most obvious cause
would be the system clock being wrong on this host.

The second error "The certificate has an unknown error." is caused by
SVN not handling some new cert verification failure modes in neon 0.29
(NE_SSL_BADCHAIN, NE_SSL_REVOKED) - it would be helpful if you could
file a bug on that against the "libsvn_ra_neon" component so this isn't
forgotten.

It is likely that the error being hit there is also an expired cert
within the chain, and again, this could be caused by clock skew.

Regards, Joe
