Works on the file when I check it out anonymously on the http transport,
but when I use my credentials on the svn+ssh transport it fails in both
emacs from trunk and emacs23.

I note that emacs23 does seem to get 2724 lines into the annotation
buffer while emacs from trunk gets only 1382 (but does provide nifty
coloring even when run with -Q).

“svn annotate” works from the command line either way I check the file
out.

time does give negligible differences for “svn annotate” depending on
the way I check it out.

For “time svn annotate includes/Article.php > /dev/null” on the
anonymous check out I see:

    real        0m4.767s
    user        0m2.130s
    sys         0m0.730s

On the check out with creds, I see:

    real        0m5.548s
    user        0m2.240s
    sys         0m0.640s

Let me know if I can help further.

Mark.
