Yeah, the / would be the problem. It is used in the name of a property
that older versions of bzr-svn used to set. Subversion supports setting
it over HTTP fine, but doesn't allow retrieving it over HTTP after it
has been set. Retrieving it over file://, svn:// svn+ssh:// works fine
AFAIK. 

The problem is probably in libneon, the XML+HTTP library used by
Subversion. 

Cheers,
