I have a subversion repository that has worked fine for years. When I now try to check in several changed files, it times out (apparently when the network connection gives up after several minutes). I can check in some of the files individually, including every single one in a subset that failed when done at once. svnadmin verify passes. I am using a direct connection to the server (i.e. svn://, not svn+ssh:// ). The message is
Transmitting file data ..................svn: Commit failed (details follow): svn: Can't write to connection: Connection timed out I tried starting the server as svnserve -r /home/svn/SVN/repos --foreground -X in the hope it would say something helpful, but it doesn't (it just sits there as if it never received the connection at all). It still carries out simple checkins correctly (and terminates after every one). The client is 1.4.6 (default on Ubuntu Hardy) and the server is 1.5.4 (default on Ubuntu Jaunty). It runs over a slowish VPN which does not appear to molest TCP connections much if at all. What might I be doing wrong, and where do I start debugging the problem? Many thanks for any help.
