I have about 155 packages in the repository that I want to checkout. This has never worked with v1.6. The workaround is to checkout each package one at a time (svn co svn://). As you can see, that's very tedious. I assume subversion doesn't care how many packages are in my repository. I did the basic installation of svn v1.6 (tar'ing subversion-1.6.17.tar and subversion-deps-1.6.17.tar). Then I did another installation but with v1.7 to see if I ran into the same issue. I installed it on a different directory location. I was able to checkout the 155 packages successfully.
