Well, I guess the culprit is: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- (source (with-store store (download-multi-svn-to-store store ref (string-append name "-svn-multi-checkout"))))) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- and maybe we could catch the error and report a nice hint.
