Konstantin Kolinko commented on BUILDS-9:
-----------------------------------------

log4j2 project configures "SVN" step as addStep(SVN(repourl=...)) without any 
values for mode or method. It means that those have default values  
mode="incremental", method=None. \[1]

In this configuration Buildbot does the following
(in methods incremental(), _sourcedirIsUpdatable() in \[2] ):

1. Checks that ".svn" directory is present
2. Calls "svn info --xml" and parses its stdout as XML.
3. Verifies that repository URL returned by Step 2 is as expected.
4. If repository URL is OK then it performs "svn update".

In this case the step 2 fails.
My guess is that svn working copy is in an older format and needs an "svn 
upgrade" call on it.
