Yes; in the actual repo we point to a folder within the source root.

>Also, do you (or someone else) happen to have a Subversion client (preferably 1.13) that is built with APR 1.6.5 (or any APR prior to 1.7.0) and if so, could you test this scenario with that client and let us know if it still fails?

Unfortunately this is where my skill is lacking, we have for a long
time depended on the binary drop of TortoiseSVN to give us the CLI
subversion tooling.

Looking online it appears that VisualSVN has a binary drop
(https://www.visualsvn.com/files/Apache-Subversion-1.13.0.zip) however
they are not as detailed on their versioning (at least not in an
easily accessible manner). Assuming that the Properties Dialog for
`libapr-1.dll` is reporting correctly the file version indicates
1.6.5. This version of the binary still produces the same error.

`svn --version` reports:

R:\Apache-Subversion-1.13.0\bin>svn --version
svn, version 1.13.0 (r1867053)

The following repository access (RA) modules are available:

* ra_svn : Module for accessing a repository using the svn network protocol.
  - handles 'svn' scheme
* ra_local : Module for accessing a repository on local disk.
  - handles 'file' scheme
* ra_serf : Module for accessing a repository via WebDAV protocol using serf.
  - using serf 1.3.9 (compiled with 1.3.9)
  - handles 'http' scheme
  - handles 'https' scheme

The following authentication credential caches are available:

* Wincrypt cache in C:\Users\aceo\AppData\Roaming\Subversion

But nothing that mentions the APR.

Is this helpful? I am willing to try other binaries.

Thank you,
