There are many many bad error messages in SVN. Poor error messages have always been an issue: http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=1254 I've collected some reasons and hilarious examples in my svnday 2011 talk: http://www.elegosoft.com/files/svn-day-berlin-2011_sperling_subversion-error-messages-demystified.pdf My favourite new bad error message in 1.8 is the one that says "decompression failed" (or something like that, from serf) which happens when I commit to svn.a.o and update immediately after (before the EU mirror has caught up).
