Well, I guess the culprit is:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
             (source (with-store store
                       (download-multi-svn-to-store
                        store ref (string-append name "-svn-multi-checkout")))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

and maybe we could catch the error and report a nice hint.  Well, the
question is where to handle the error. :-)


Cheers,
simom
