Hello Greg, hello list, thank you very much for your answer, it was very useful!

Your clue to use ssh instead of the svn put me on the right track. To my defence, the login name that ssh uses during its conversation is not printed on the diagnostic line when verbose output is enabled. While this information is very basic and elementary, it maybe would be useful to debug a connection (I admit, ``login name'' should stand quite high on the list of things to check when something goes wrong!) In my case, if the login names had been present in the verbose output os SSH ,I woud have spotted it by diff'ing the outputs of the successful and unsuccessful transactions. Maybe I should file a PR for this? Why do I instantly think ``login name'' when I hear ssh and not when I hear svn? Well, I hope my therapist will be able to help me sorting it out :) -- Thank you very much, Michael
