I had some problems checking out from Subversion. I got the error message:

svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/xxx
svn: PROPFIND of '/xxx: could not connect to server (http://xxx.xxxxx.com)

After a bit of searching, Vernon suggested it could be proxy server settings. I checked them by opening up a terminal and typing:

vim ~/.subversion/servers

Scrolling down to the line starting with http-proxy-host it was obvious I had set a proxy previously as it was pointing to a previous clients internal proxy server. I haven’t command-line subversion client on my Mac for a while because I’ve being using the svn client installed in Aptana. Commenting out the offending lines fixed my problems.
