That server only offers DIGEST-MD5 authentication. Natively, Subversion
only knows CRAM-MD5 (if the comments in the source are still accurate;
`grep MD5 subversion/{svnserve,libsvn_ra_svn}/*`). So I guess you need an
svn binary compiled/configured for SASL support, or to configure the
server to allow CRAM-MD5.
