Bug Description

The current svn import code determines the root of the repository by walking up the URL until "svn ls" fails. This was necessary because older versions of libsvn_client did not expose the repository root information.

The is wrong and fails when the repository root cannot be accessed or when svn repositories are nested.

Modern libsvn_client APIs allow to determine this information directly and correctly.

This fails for the repository that I want to get an import from at:
svn://svn.connexia.com/BluemapiaWinClient
Because the root:
svn://svn.connexia.com
requires authentication for reads, presumably because there are other non-public projects on it.
However, this repository does provide a root via svn info, so perhaps as a partial fix you can just check if the repository root information is provided and if not try walking up the URL? That would at least restrict the effects of the bug to old repositories with complex structures or restricted roots.
