Hi Felipe,
Do you have access to the repository configuration at the server? Things we are most interested in is how exactly your authentication is setup. E.g. do you allow anonymous acces, and if yes in what way? Posting your server configuration (with passwords and private information changed) would really help. I don’t think the serf debug log is really giving much more information here, as there are (as far as I can tell) no requests that fail. The default server side logging (if not disabled) provides most likely more than enough information to look into this. Last night (EU time) we spend some time with different scenarios in an attempt to reproduce your issue, but we were unable to.

Unfortunately there is no runtime-switch (yet) to enable debug output with svn+serf. There is already an open enhancement request for this [1]. You can enable debug logging with serf by rebuilding (see [2]). With your combined input, this issue really starts to look like a serf-related issue. - Succeeds with file:// <file:///\\> - Fails with http(s), but only with 1.8 clients, not with older clients. To double check that it's serf-related, perhaps one of you could try with 1.7+serf, and see if that fails as well. You can enable serf with 1.7 by specifying http-library=serf in the servers configuration file, or by passing --config-option servers:global:http-library=serf on the command line. Perhaps it's time to open an issue in the issue tracker for this. Subversion client 1.7 using serf cause the lock to break! But it does not break when using neon (default) ---8<------- C:\tmp>svn --username will --password will co http://svntest.freshcomp.com.au/svn/repos --config-option servers:global:http-library=serf wc A wc\Trunk A wc\Trunk\Lettus A wc\Trunk\Lettus\lbin A wc\Trunk\Lettus\lbin\file2.txt A wc\Trunk\Lettus\lbin\test.txt A wc\Trunk\Lettus\lbin\file1.txt Checked out revision 4.
