Oh and, forgot to mention: subversion 1.7 is almost 6 years old and
actually not supported anymore (you might still get help on this
users-mailinglist, but the chances of it receiving any more bugfixes
are close to non-existent). You should upgrade to 1.9 if possible. See
http://subversion.apache.org/docs/release-notes/ if you want to take a
look at the 1.8 and 1.9 release notes.
