This might be a permissions issue.  Check your apache error logs to see if 
there is anything helpful in there.  You need to make sure the user 
running apache can execute the svn commands.  

If it is hanging though, its likely the command is prompting for some input 
(username/password), which we obviously can't supply.  Perhaps you can run 
an svn command as the same user that the webserver runs as, so that the 
authentication information is then cached?

Basically, the string after "svn:" in @valid_repositories is what will get 
used in all the svn commands.  So in your case, the parallel link will 
generate a command like:

svn cat --revision 7 http://<...>/svn/trunk/file.c

In my testing, I have only worked on SVN repositories that had access to 
repositories without requiring a password.  If you have authentication on 
your repository, we need to somehow set up the user running Codestriker to 
be able to execute the svn command without any interaction.

I believe there are a number of different ways youi can do authentication 
with subversion, but we should be able to set it up so that a password 
entry is not required.  I believe this information is cached after doing 
an initial login, or the other option is to use the svn server + ssh.

Having said all that, I am not an expert in Subversion.  Someone else on 
this list may have some better ideas here, on how this is done.

I'll update the manual once we get this sorted out.
