Thanks both to you and DongInn. However, it seems like some configuration tweak
is required. When I point my browser at:

        https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/xmlrpc

I am told that:

        Error: Forbidden
        XML_RPC privileges are required to perform this operation

I am logged in, so I imagine that ordinary users do not have that
privilege set. I imagine that single trac-admin invocation will
be sufficient to remedy this. Can this be done?
