Thanks for your first diagnostic, I don't have all the details, the issue is part of an FreeBSD PR where this happened to a user. Since I have the same repository in sync (but with subversion 1.7.10) I've taken a look into the file which breaks the sync for the user with subversion 1.8. It is the following FreeBSD PR: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=179760 Additional I've ask the OP to join the users@ list so you can get more details from first hand. -- Thanks, olli
