OK, the actual situation: the 'svn+ssh' tunnel defaults to calling '$SVN_SSH -q -o ControlMaster=no' where $SVN_SSH defaults to 'ssh'. (The ControlMaster part is a Debian patch that probably is not needed anymore.) The current default config file, which you can see in /etc/subversion/config, shows this default, commented out. Your ~/.subversion/config probably doesn't show the -q because it was added some years after you first ran svn. (svn doesn't update your config file when it runs, it just writes a static file if the file doesn't already exist.) Given the above, and given I don't think it'd be easy to determine from the point that error is thrown whether the 'svn+ssh' tunnel is a compiled default or has been changed, do you have any better suggestions for the error? I'd be happy to improve the error in Debian and upstream.
