Re: How to prefer ipv4 over ipv6?

Unfortunate.

There is nothing wrong with my dns. And I have no control over the
remote sites.

Assumming that you were thinking of an A RR w/o a corresponding AAAA, in
parallel to the existing A and AAAA RRs, adding a local override to my
resolver for each remote site would force v4, but is an ugly kludge more
likely the break as soon as a bit of time passes and the remote sites
move their services around.

Sorry, I thought I made it clear that I'm not running an svn server,
but rather using svn clients.

I wasn't looking for a client setting. I was looking for a client
invocation argument. The DNS has nothing to do with it.

I have both v4 adn v6 routes to the 'net, but the v4 is faster.

Support for the de-facto -4 and -6 args would be nice. I'll have to
patch the src for it. Thanks for the confirming that. That will save
me some time.
