svnlite --version shows that no RA modules are available. svn v 1.10.0 (r1827917) I figured out the problem after installing from FreeBSD-12.0-CURRENT-amd64-20180503-r333209-disc1.iso svnlite co svn:/... /usr/src updated me to rev 333382 compiled&installed kernel & world And the next try to `svnlite up` failed to svn: E170000: Unrecognized URL scheme
At rev. 333625 it's fine.
