I checked http://php.net/popen and see that it really is supposed to get 
the whole command line.

That page also says that "If the command to be executed could not be found, 
a valid resource is returned.".

So, apparently it is having trouble executing "/usr/bin/svn ls 
'file:///usr/local/svnroot/repos/MyRepo/' 2>&1".

I tried executing that by hand and it worked fine.  I'll try a few other 
experiments with known-goid file paths.
