svnlite (1.8.0-rc3 in base system) and subversion (1.7.10 from ports) are not interoperable, they create incompatible repositories (at least by default). Not a problem for me personally, I use git mirrors, just my 5 cents. Details below. Here the freebsd repo checked out by subversion port > svn info Path: .

You need to upgrade the working copy first.

You need to get a newer Subversion client.
