This problem occurs not often enough to know (except by doing
background tests in a loop).

If sshd would have detected an issue on its side, I would have
got some information on the client side, unless there is a bug
in the error reporting of openssh. On the client side, svn is
still hanging with no output, and no errors on the master ssh
debug output.

Still no answer for the sysadmin.

I can have lsof information on the server, in case this can provide
useful information:

* for sshd:

(I've excluded the library files).
