If you do not have the right permission for an svn import, there should be a message complaining about the issue, not a simple freeze of the svn client. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.svn import xyz 2. 3. Actual Results: svn client freezes and must be killed with a SIGTERM Expected Results: svn: Can't open directory 'xyz': Permission denied svn: Your commit message was left in a temporary file:... like done with subversion 1.1.4-r1 It cost me some time to find the problem with the "missing" message. I found the solution when I emerged subversion 1.1.4-r1. I don't know, maybe the version in x86 should be changed to 1.1.4-r1.

Oops, it needs an extra patch to build/ac-macros/swig.m4 so that the ruby extension modules get the corrected.

Tom, these should go to bug #101871
Thanks Paul, these bugzilla pages all look the same :-) I've added the patches to the correct bug now.
Closing this bug as it's no longer valid and upstream anyway.
