The actual problem was an authentication failure (with the message mentioned in the subject line: "Digest mutual authentication failure: request-digest mismatch") that occured sometimes, as already mentioned most likely when merging. I thought that was clear enough from my previous post, sorry.
Regarding the version information: Server: Apache 2.2.14 Subversion 1.6.6 (r40053) apr 1.3.8 apr-utils 1.3.9 neon 0.29.0 OpenSSL 0.9.8k zlib 1.2.3.3 The problem occurred with different clients and client versions, on Linux, Mac, and Windows. I use commandline svn (1.6.17 - 1.7.4 on Ubuntu or Gentoo) or latest TortiseSVN: TortoiseSVN 1.7.7, Build 22907 - 64 Bit , 2012/05/15 12:16:05 Subversion 1.7.5, apr 1.4.6 apr-utils 1.3.12 neon 0.29.6 OpenSSL 1.0.1c 10 May 2012 zlib 1.2.7 ________________________________________ Von: Daniel Shahaf [d...@daniel.shahaf.name] Gesendet: Samstag, 9.

Thanks for the information!
