svn blame . (The REPORT request returned invalid XML in the response)

It is not clear wether or not svn blame is supposed to work on
directories (it does work with CVS). But, anyway, the error message
seems worth of a bug report (I will register it in the issue tracker
but I check here first):

% svn blame .
svn: REPORT request failed on '/!svn/bc/733'
svn: The REPORT request returned invalid XML in the response: XML parse error at line 5: Extra content at the end of the document
. (/!svn/bc/733)

svn, version 1.1.4 (r13838)
   compiled May 13 2005, 06:29:47
(Debian package)

Server is Apache 2 + mod_dav_svn (same Debian packages), backend is bdb.

In that case, the error message should be improved, IMHO (reported as
#2400).

With Subversion 1.2.3, I get this error:

svn: REPORT request failed on '/svn/!svn/bc/1234/foo/trunk'
svn: '/foo/trunk' is not a file

This suggests that it only works on files. "svn help blame" and The  
Book [1] only talk about files, not about directories, so I don't  
think it was intended to work on directories.
