Error and Exception:

1) Problem: svnserve.conf:12: Option expected; will through if 1.d) not done carefully.
Cause : Any Extra Trailing space in config\svnserve.conf file
Solution: Follow section 1.d) carefully.

2) Problem: Expected FS format between '1' and '3'; found format '4'
Cause: Which Subverson tool did you use to create the repository? TortoiseSVN? Your TortoiseSVN may be newer, a 1.6.x release, then your 1.5 command line client
and svnserve, so svnserve 1.5.x cannot serve a 1.6.x repository.
Solution: Create Repository with svn as section 1. c)
