Could you please try running in a fresh userdir? (--userdir commandline switch) or delete $HOME/.netbeans . Also, please try latest trunk builds:

Thanks.

This is a duplicate of bug #160826.
It is fixed in development builds of NetBeans 6.5 and also in the latest patch of NetBeans 6.5.

The bug is caused by incompatible changes introduced in Subversion 1.6.x. These changes break functionality of the
Subversion JavaHL library in NetBeans. 

A workaround is to run NetBeans with switch

    -J-DsvnClientAdapterFactory=commandline

Open NB_INSTALL_DIR/etc/netbeans.conf and add the switch to "netbeans_default_options" option. This switch will make
NetBeans use the Subversion command-line client instead of the (incompatible) JavaHL library. Then you can install
NetBeans updates from the Update Centre. One of these updates is for Subversion and causes Subversion to always use the
command-line client, even if the above switch is not used.
