One of the things that bugs me about Capistrano is the requirement that access to the remote subversion repository have the same path from the local machine and the remote machine. This is never the case in my experience.
I have been getting around it by setting the path to svn://localhost/... and running ssh locally to port forward the SVN port to the remote host. This sucks as I usually forget to run ssh in another window first.

If you Google around for information or even some documentation on the ruby SVN bindings you will find plenty of comments that it simply is not documented, so when I wanted to add an SVN status check to a UI I was working on (a project browser window for Rails), I had to "Use the source Luke". However given the bindings are actually mostly automatically generated by SWIG, and the actual details are hidden in a goo of swig generated c code, even that was a challenge.
Eventually I realized that the API was almost identical to the c level subversion API, not surprisingly, and for the most part it works the way you would expect. However I could not find any examples of the client status call, so here it is for anyone else struggling with this issue.
