I am seeing this almost all the time:

svn: REPORT request failed on '/svnroot/axiom/!svn/vcc/default'
svn: REPORT of '/svnroot/axiom/!svn/vcc/default': Could not read response body: 
Secure connection truncated (https://svn.sourceforge.net)

(on Debian sarge) for the command:

$ svn co https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/axiom/trunk/axiom silver

I have tried this something like 10 times.  And for the 1 or 2 times
it completed, I got the following error after make:

----------------------------------------------------------------
$ LANG=C make

tar: Skipping to next header

Perhaps you should have used the -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:

Therefore I am not sure I can trust svn from sourceforge.  The branch
has been impossible to use so far for me.

It *might* be a problem with my provider not allowing enough ssh
traffic (very hard to prove but I have suspicions from other
problems).

It might also simply be sourceforge too overloaded.
