That is the problem here as well. We are using hosted svn from atlassian, so this may be affecting a lot of users. Here is the output with our server name changed:

I've installed nginx as a reverse proxy and I can confirm that it does give exactly that error on commit. -- Philip Martin | Subversion Committer WANdisco | Non-Stop Data www.wandisco.com
