Indeed, the designed behaviour (IIUC) was definitely that the repository-dictated configuration would take priority over the client's config setting [1] (except for command-line options, which take even higher priority, as discussed / clarified here: [2]). The OP has created a JIRA issue: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SVN-4699 I'll add these references also to that issue. (Note to Peter Balogh: having the issue in JIRA does not mean it will be solved more quickly -- someone still needs to pick it up, investigate, discuss, and possibly come up with a patch -- any further help there is most welcome :-)) [1] https://wiki.apache.org/subversion/ServerDictatedConfiguration#Configuration_hierarchy [2] https://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2012-01/0210.shtml -- Johan
