There seems to be a problem in the repository. I tried a fresh update
and svn reported:

svn: In directory 'Master/bin/i386-linux'
svn: Can't change perms of file 'Master/bin/i386-linux/ppower4': No
such file or directory

Does the repository use FSFS or Berkeley DB? I suspect that Berkeley
DB is used and it is now in an unstable state after some failure.
