The problem is that the newer clients come up with authentication request during svn checkout which after entering correct password fails. The authentication comes at random moments during checkout. The difference we could spot so far was that 1.7.22 was using ra_neon and newer clients are using ra_serf for HTTPS.

This was reproduced on svn client running on Windows, Linux Mint 17 32bit and Linux Mint 18 64bit. No proxies being used
on client side.

Do you remember if this was a firewall on client or server side?
