I can report that I have exactly the same problem. In two of the three svn repositories that I connect
to, the root URL and the URL are different. I have permission to access the URL but I DO NOT have
permission to access the root URL. Despite the fact that I put in the full URL in the repository settings,
svn 2.0b2 seems to be trying to contact the root URL, and an error message appears (reflecting the
fact that I do not have permission to connect with the root URL).
I hope this issue can be resolved. As two other users have noticed, this is not an issue for version 1.3.4.
Thanks,
Howard
