"subversion encountered a serious problem"

Dear Subversion people,

To help the developers I follow up on a "serious problem" with the request to let you know.
I tried to checkout into an empty folder an existing repository. I had access, could login to the web version of the repository in the Firefox browser but repeatedly got the following error message

[cid:[email protected]]

I updated svn to the latest version (TortoiseSVN 1.14.7, Build 29687 - 64 Bit , 2024/04/15 22:07:08)
Restarted the laptop (windows 11)

At last a colleague noticed that I used capitols in the repository URL after the / . Replacing it to small letters solved the matter.
This seems like straightforward thing to fix and what I read on a forum somewhere is that wrong user input is not supposed to result in this sort of error, hence I write this email.

Best of luck, best regards,

Jan-Willem Bikker
