I assume you are referring to an upgrade of the client from 1.7 to 1.8. Did you also upgrade the server? Which version is running on the server? One change in 1.8 is that serf is used to handle HTTP on the client-side rather than neon. The default client-side HTTP timeout when using neon is 60 minutes but when using serf it is 10 minutes. A client can change its default timeout by setting servers:global:http-timeout. If you upgraded the server to 1.8 then update/checkout will have switched to skelta-mode by default and I suppose configuring the client or server to use bulk-mode might solve the problem: http://subversion.apache.org/docs/release-notes/1.8.html#serf-skelta-default -- Philip Martin | Subversion Committer WANdisco // *Non-Stop Data*
