Ok, that makes sense, I started using svnup when svnlite stopped
working: 

root@www:/usr # svnlite checkout https://svn.FreeBSD.org/base/head /usr/src
svn: E175003: Attempt to fetch capability 'depth' resulted in 'yes'
root@www:/usr # 

The error is identical, whether checkout out a new  tree or just updating
an existing one.

I think the problem is a damaged config file, but I haven't found it. 

Thanks for reading, and any guidance!
