The PROPFIND request is used for more than just listing the properties
on a directory. Can you try "svn ls" rather than "svn proplist" ? The
first does ask me for a username here.

Yes, as long as I've used "svn ls" on that URL first (or, in theory,
if I installed the Subversion 1.5 snapshot). It now fails with a
different error though, and a very generic one that will be hard to
debug without a network sniffer :-(

What version do you mean with bleeding edge in this case?
