I got the same error. My response was

    rm -rf vim7
    svn co https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/vim/trunk vim7

"svn switch" can only switch from a directory into another directory
inside the same repository. It doesn't allow the user to switch from
one server to another server. So you will not be able to switch from
"svn.sourceforge.net" to "vim.svn.sourceforge.net". So you can try to
switch to https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/vim/branches/vim7.1

svn.sourceforge.net sometimes gives out "403 forbidden" errors when
doing some maintaining work. The sf.net staff recommended to use
vim.svn.sourceforge.net instead of svn.sourceforge.net. However, if
you don't want to do any maintaining work, I think both URL will be
OK.

I don't know. I'm still asking Bram for the latest sources. Currently,
trunk and 7.1 branch will be the same.


I hope so :)
