Apparently I'm not subscribed to get list emails; please CC me on future
responses. I had to get this message from the archive :-)

Oops. You're right. My actual directory has only 3 characters where I
replaced with "Prog" in the path string. Still, those 6 fewer
characters are probably irrelevant.

Yes, checking out to a similar path using SVN 1.7 or 1.8 (with 1.8 or
1.7 substituted in the working copy path) succeeds without this error
and gives me a full working copy (minus some badly defined externals
left over from 1.6).

Do I need to compile my own SVN to get a debug-enabled build? I
downloaded the source code archive for 1.9 beta, but did not try
compiling yet, due to the large number of dependencies listed in the
INSTALL file. But it looks like there should be a "dependencies zip
file" available, so maybe I'll try that later.

Assuming I get a debug-enabled build, what would I need to do to get the
information needed?
