Hi Stefan
This is what I posted more than an year back. I was mainly facing two issues
when I was using svnant that internally uses svnkit.

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.subversion.subclipse.user/15584/match=
Performance issue I was able to resolve by upgrading svnkit that was shipped
with svnant. I added bunch of additional svnkit dependencies to the classpath
(jna) and set one of the parameters to false (set svnkit.symlinks=false
)
I was able to workaround the second issue by not performing non recursive svn
checkouts using svnant.
