I'm the maintainer of svn and libapr1. I'm sure there is a bug in there
somewhere, but I haven't been able to find it myself. I don't use svn
much and don't have much free time, so I don't expect to investigate this.

If you want to provide a patch to fix the problem, I'm willing to run
the libapr1 and subversion unit tests with it.

Otherwise, I suggest you mount the UNC path through /etc/fstab and use
the mount point instead of the UNC path with svn.
