Hi,

so I spoke to the SVN admin and he says that possibly the repo has been corrupted a while ago. The command you asked me to run fails, it can't authenticate. That command was svn pg -R svn:ignore https://www.iam.unibe.ch/scg/svn_repos.

Some old version in the repo may be corrupt and I didn't get the details.
So, well, I guess it's nothing you can do :)
