If you're using the github svn bridge, it is likely because something changed on github's side of things. The solution is simple, you just have to run svn switch, which lets it properly find itself, then update and everything will work. Just run the following from the root of your checkout

svn info | grep Relative 
svn switch path_from_previous_command
svn update

or

svn switch `svn info | grep Relative | sed 's_.*: __'`
svn update

The basis for this solution comes from Lee Preimesberger's blog
