Seb,

reason is I use my notebook at home and at work.
At work my repository is under

svn://<server-name in work intranet>/repository

at home it cannot of course be that intranet servername, it would have to be

svn://<server-name as provided in internet>/repository

Having the "localhost" server solves the problem.
I simply use different port forwarding scripts at home and at work.
