This is kinda serious in that the above manifestation in svn effectively
disables it for those of us that are on IPv4 connections and have no
provider capability for IPv6 at the present time. When I was running
10.2 this was not a problem but as soon as I rolled forward to 11.x it
showed up.
Fortunately svnlite does work, but if this same breakage manages to
migrate there as well.......
