After migration a Subversion server to a different location I found that the SVN update was no longer working from a Jenkins instance that used that server. After a little
searching I found the solution in a Stackoverflow question.
It turns out that the SVNKit library that the Jenkins Subversion plugin does support TLS 1.0. To get it working I had the update the Apache site configuration to include SSLv3:
SSLProtocol -all +SSLv3 +TLSv1
For the stacktrace, see below:
The stacktrace from Jenkins:
