[Bug 1287725] Re: SVN crashes on svn:// login with: svn assert failure

[Remco Brenninkmeijer]

It was a long time ago but if I remember correct it appeared to be a
server problem which causes the dump at the client side.

So the message is being given if the repository can not be reached.
(Same thing will happen if you try to checkout from a server which does
not run subversion).

<b>Definitely a user-error, but especially considering the likeliness of
this error it should rather result in a nice user message instead of
this core dump. </b>
