Tried, does not work:

Yep.

 From my perspective right now, not yet being tempted to contribute, 
rsync looks superior:
I have it working in various setups, some over ssh, some over http. 
Syncing is trivial.
rsync comes with every vanilla OSX - thus it would be possible to sync 
the Bundle Directory
via a Command from TM (I _do_ know this would also be possible with svn 
- once I have it
working :-)). It might even be possible to put a nifty "Get latest 
Bundles" Button into the
Bundle Editor GUI and have it working in every users setup (svn does 
not come with a
vanilla OS X...).

Meanwhile, I am trying rebuilding svn from the sources - it _should_ 
not change anything,
but things like this _have_ happened in the past with fink. :(

Thank you for your prompt response (and on a sunday, no less! We all 
need to get out more! ;)),
