New issue 146 by cmpil... at gmail.com: 1.7 change: Permanent HTTP redirects  
are automatically followed.
http://code.google.com/p/svnbook/issues/detail?id=146

 From the Subversion 1.7 release notes:

{{{
In the past, when the Subversion client encountered an HTTP redirect  
response from the server, it displayed an obtuse, and rarely-useful error  
message. Subversion 1.7 improves the situation by following permanent  
redirects (301 Moved Permanently) for svn update and svn info, and  
providing a more useful error message on temporary redirects (302 Found and  
307 Temporary Redirect).
}}}

Client behavior is probably disinteresting from the book's perspective, but  
it might make for a good suggestion for admins who need to relocate a  
repository (leave behind a permanent redirect if possible).
