To clarify, svn worked fine through socks 5 using dante-client, which
provides the socksify script which does pretty much the same as tsocks.
I would have filed a bug against tsocks, but from what I can see the
last commit on that project was in 2002. Thus, it seems dante-client is
the way to go.

In the restricted network, the SOCKS proxy is dante, but as I mentioned,
the same situation occurs with a simple ssh -D proxy.
You may want to run a simple local http proxy that itself can use
a SOCKS5 proxy to access the internet (polipo may be a candidate).
If you only need to access a specific SVN host you may also
run a port forwarder that can use SOCKS5. Or do 'ssh -L
localport:desthost:destport helperhost' when you have something
ourside you can ssh to, and use netcat as a proxy command to
get through the socks proxy.
tsocks is by definition a hack that can't work in all circumstances.
