Needless to say that 1.10.3 does not show the issue below, and of course the GitHub server does support HTTP/DAV.

If you check the list archives, you'll see that the thread immediately
before yours, "Problems accessing GitHub's SVN-bridge with SVN 1.11", is
about the exact same issue.

Unless I've completely misunderstood that thread, GitHub's custom
re-implmentation of SVN's HTTP/DAV support is slightly buggy, in that it
does not actually properly implement the underlying HTTP DAV protocol.
It's only now become an issue due to Subversion getting stricter about
checking for DAV protocol elements to better report certain errors.
