Actually, that is exactly the documented behavior.  RedirectPermanent sends 
back a 301 status message to the client.  A web browser would respond by 
quietly following the redirect, but Subversion does not do that.  Subversion, 
when presented with any 30x redirect, will dump a message and fail rather than 
follow the redirect... which is exactly why it will never do what Daniel wants 
it to do.
