    The message you are seeing is printed by ssh as a result of the fix for svn-issue #2580.

    This is expected. You need to add -q to the ssh command invoked by svn, which happens by default as of 1.6.6.

    Put this in ~/.subversion/config under the [tunnels] section:

    ssh = $SVN_SSH ssh -q

  2. The correct answer is:

    Add the -q parameter after  "$SVN_SSH ssh" in ~/.subversion/config

    In plain English:

    If your ~/.subversion/config already has such a line, then edit the line. Else add it.

    So, if you are sure there is no occurrence of ssh = $SVN_SSH ssh then add a new line:

    ssh = $SVN_SSH ssh -q

    If the line already exists, typically as ssh = $SVN_SSH ssh -o ControlMaster=no then edit it to read ssh = $SVN_SSH ssh -q -o ControlMaster=no

    Warning: The order of the parameters seems to matter. ssh = $SVN_SSH ssh -q -o ControlMaster=no works, but ssh = $SVN_SSH ssh -o -q ControlMaster=no fails with the message command-line: line 0: Bad configuration option: -q.

  3.  ~/.subversion/config: ssh = $SVN_SSH ssh -q

    This doesn't work - I think this is the fix for the previous bug.

    [n@g ~]$ svn up /opt/
At revision 1492.
Killed by signal 15.
[n@g ~]$ grep "ssh =" ~/.subversion/config
ssh = $SVN_SSH ssh -q

  4. If it isnt working perhaps you are invoking ssh using something other than the $SVN_SSH variable. http://www.freebsdonline.com/content/view/764/528/ has an example of that.

    regarding the warning:

    "Warning: The order of the parameters seems to matter. ssh = $SVN_SSH ssh -q -o ControlMaster=no works, but ssh = $SVN_SSH ssh -o -q ControlMaster=no fails with the message command-line: line 0: Bad configuration option: -q."

    that is because you placed the -q after the -o which is looking for the option (ControlMaster=no) specified by -o. if you placed the -q after the option, it will work. ie 

    ssh = $SVN_SSH ssh -o ControlMaster=no -q
