During a merge from branch on the same repository as current copy:
svn merge -r17007:17249 http://hostname/svn/path
I got the error: svn: Malformed URL for repository. The fix is to add user name in SVN URL:
svn merge -r17007:17249 http://dcieslak@hostname/svn/path
Is this a Subversion bug? Probably the problem is that my username placed in SVN config file has form: domainname\username. Maybe SVN merge cannot handle that format?

Linode, VPS hosting company I’m using, just opened signups to new dataceneter in Europe. This new deployment is located at Telecity Group’s Powergate facility.
Checking tracerote to London from Warsas shows the benefits:

Now packet travels only 50ms to server from Warsaw (Newark location I’m using now has 130ms). It’s big improvement.
