 Neon just output the result of the GNU TLS connection error as defined
in its documentation[1]:
GNUTLS_CERT_INSECURE_ALGORITHM:
        The certificate was signed using an insecure algorithm such as
        MD2 or MD5. These algorithms have been broken and should not be
        trusted.

Indeed, your certificate is signed with MD5; see "Certificate Signature
Algorithm" part of your certificate, it says "PKCS #1 MD5 With RSA
Encryption".

Recent conversion on mailing list of Subversion[2] states that it
doesn't have an option to ask Neon/GNU TLS to ignore this error.

Can you ask for a new certificate signed with a more secure algorithm?
