+<p>In the past, when the Subversion client encountered an HTTP redirect
+response from the server, it displayed an obtuse, and rarely-useful error
+message.  Subversion 1.7 improves the situation by following permanent
+redirects for <code>svn update</code> and <code>svn info</code>, and providing
+a more useful error message on temporary redirects.</p>
