I forgot to propagate your uid to the new group that owns the svn
directory.  I have done so.  Hopefully that solves it.  BTW, you
definitely don't want to check out svnroot.  Rather, you should check
out the trunk 

  svn+ssh://mlton.org/svnroot/mlton/trunk

Checking out svnroot will give you every branch and tag ever created.

I guess firewalls are a good argument for adding http access to the
repository.  I was scared off doing so by the manual and went for the
easier to administer svn access.  Also, I run Apache 1.3 on mlton.org
it will probably be quite a pain to upgrade to 2.0, which the svn
manual says is needed.  So, http: access probably won't happen for a
while.
