That's possible, although it sounds strange, hard to tell from that

Not properly. I've been talking to the SVNKit people and they've given
me some tips for improving the way IvySvn communicates with SVN. I would
like to redo a lot of things with that in mind, and will then hopefully
never need to change to the root of the repository but instead use the
value passed to IvySvn as the repositoryRoot, like it should be, which I
think will solve your issue.
