Eclipse users can try the following solution;

1. Close eclipse and open the following file:
   • Windows Vista/7: C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Subversion\server
   • Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\Subversion\server
2. Find the following lines:
   • ### Information for the first group:
     # [group1]
     # http-proxy-host = svn.some-domain-name.com
     # http-proxy-port = 80
     # http-proxy-username = blah
     # http-proxy-password = doubleblah
3. Uncomment the http-proxy-host and http-proxy-port line and provide your proxy server path and port no. Do not leave any spaces before the http-proxy-host.So it should look like this:
   • http-proxy-host = substitute with your proxy server path
   • http-proxy-port = substitute your proxy server port  
4. Start the eclipse again.

This should work for eclipse.
