# layman -a vmware
* Running command "/usr/bin/svn co http://overlays.gentoo.org/svn/proj/vmware/trunk/ /usr/portage/local/layman/vmware"...
svn: &#380;&#261;danie REPORT nie powiod&#322;o si&#281; dla '/svn/proj/vmware/!svn/vcc/default'
svn: REPORT z '/svn/proj/vmware/!svn/vcc/default': 400 Bad Request (http://overlays.gentoo.org)
* Failed to add overlay "vmware".
* Error was: Adding the overlay failed!

Same happens with some other overlays. As I found out addresses shown by layman after executing layman -L differ from those on the server. 

Example (vmware-server):
layman -L
http://overlays.gentoo.org/svn/proj/vmware/trunk/

server
http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/vmware/browser/trunk

works perfectly here - the difference is one is the browser (like viewcvs) and the other is the real svn url.

To access it though you need to have the nowebdev useflag not set for subversion which is your problem here.

try USE=-nowebdav emerge subversion

this is no bug thus I am closing it as INVALID
